Welcome to the ADVANCE for Administrators of the Laboratory special resource center, sponsored by Data Innovations, dedicated to helping lab managers, directors and administrators augment their lab efficiency. We know you're regularly expected to "do more with less," and as busy professionals, you need an at-your-fingertips collection of tips, ideas and references to help you continually improve lab operations.
We'll be adding more articles about autoverification, middleware, Lean and other management tools to help simplify your lab--and keep you ahead of the game. Check back often.
Roadmap to Autoverification
This four-part series explores the details of implementing autoverification, offering a step-by-step guide to help labs of all sizes through the process.
Part I: Thinking about autoverification, but not sure where to begin? Start here.
Part II: After you've decided to move forward with autoverification and thought about writing your rules, explore the advantages and disadvantages of software options. This helps define where to put the functions of autoverification--in the instrument, the LIS or middleware.
Part III: This article explores the testing and regulatory considerations relevant to autoverification.
Part IV: Finally, prepare your "go-live" plan, begin training and consider your standard operating procedures.
