Clinical Lab Environments & Objectives
The Clinical laboratory environment has drastically changed over the past years. Innovation, Automation, IT Connectivity and logistics, has resulted in, the emergence of bigger and bigger Laboratories and laboratory chains focused on operational efficiency. Driven by a constant competition, these labs look to optimize their resources and for cost effective solutions.
In the countries where the Clinical laboratories hasn’t been impacted by this phenomenon, innovation in analysis technology and data management is also the predominant driver for improving patient care and their necessary market development.
At the same time, reference Hospital and University laboratories are subjected to medical advances and cost constraints that require innovative technical and management solutions to provide a patient care of high quality.
Common to all the key players of the health network is the relentless pursuit of cost reduction.
Diagnostic
On the market, one can find plenty of innovative Technical and IT solutions to enable cost reduction and laboratory performance improvement. The challenge here is not the quantity and the quality of the solutions but:
- How do I make sure this solution is the best-fit solution for my lab?
- How will I manage this change?
- How to ensure that this solution won’t be one more layer that will increase the complexity in the operation management?
These critical questions, that are really challenging to answer, are for the lab Managers.
Sebia Lean Service, combined with Sebia product solutions and Scientific expertise, provides the process excellence and operational efficiency support to lab managers for answering these questions.
Workflow efficiency & lean management
The primary missions of laboratories is to provide high quality, reliable and timely clinical diagnosis results to health professionals and patients while staying within budget. This amounts to simply trying to reach efficiency, which is what Lean management solutions do: aim for Quality with just the necessary resources.
The main Lean principle is to concentrate the resources around the core mission of the lab while targeting and eliminating all unnecessary tasks. This results in performance improvement.
