Would a quick infusion of $100,000 to $500,000 in cash within 30 days of implementing a simple process improvement project make a big difference for your clinical laboratory or pathology group—particularly at a time when your parent hospital is cutting your lab’s budget?

Should you answer that question with a “yes,” then read further to learn how two of the nation’s most respected laboratory organizations harvested that much cash and more with existing staff and resources, and how your lab can do this, too.

These two labs saw the opportunity to convert inventory—reagents and consumables—to cash by initiating simple and speedy process improvement projects. In only weeks, each lab successfully reduced expensive inventory levels while eliminating stock-outs and the problem of expired reagents, to name just two benefits.

Best of all, your lab—whether small, medium, large, or multi-site—has the same opportunity to free up $100,000 to $500,000 or more in spendable cash! The methods used by the lab teams at Henry Ford Health System and Saint Francis Health System will work just as well in your lab.

To give you and your lab team a fast start on your own project to obtain cash through better inventory management, DarkDaily has arranged a special webinar titled, “Your Clinical Lab’s Opportunity to Capture $100K-$500K in Wasted Spending: Proven Steps to Improve Inventory Management, Free Up Cash, and Increase Lab Performance.” This all-new, 90-minute webinar will take place Wednesday, January 13, at 1PM EST.

Your faculty for the webinar, Sharon Cox, MT(ASCP)SC, Core Laboratory Supervisor with Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, OK, and Rita D’Angelo, MS, ASQ, CQE, LSSBB, President and CEO of D’Angelo Advantage in Gibraltar, MI, formerly with Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, have tremendous combined successful experience at applying unique approaches to laboratory inventory management—resulting in astonishing cost savings and productivity improvements, within weeks following the labs’ implementation!

Cox and D’Angelo bring to this webinar powerful cost-cutting tools! Tools that are also easy and fast, achievable by your existing lab team in just a few weeks. These simple but powerful secrets come with another key benefit: your lab is cutting costs without the need to lay off staff or reduce services. Think of how excited your staff will be to learn that they can unlock all this cash without the pain of reduction in hours or other unpopular cost-cutting options.
