FREE Webinar
Held Wednesday, October 28 

Now a Streaming Webinar!

In today’s healthcare environment, hospital and independent reference labs (IRLs) are seeking new ways to take greater control of their logistics needs. Among the challenges most frequently experienced by labs include:  time spent by staff every day researching lost or damaged shipments,  accurately planning staff levels without knowing in advance how many daily specimens are going to arrive, communicating proactively with lab customers but not knowing the status of their shipments, scheduling pick-ups at client sites and printing shipping labels—just to name a few.

These and myriad other challenges affect your lab’s ability to run efficiently. To streamline processes and take greater control of your lab’s logistics, you must start by rethinking your approach. Attend this free webinar, with follow-up Q&A, and learn best practices that your lab can implement right away to improve efficiency, lower costs, and focus more on what matters most: the patients your lab serves.
