Cost of Manual Work — Diagnostics Labs
See what repetitive manual work is costing Diagnostics Labs teams each year — where test turnaround time is the operational and clinical KPI but the bottleneck moves around — phlebotomy, transport, accessioning, instrument, or result-release — and the operating model rarely sees the whole chain.
What this means for Diagnostics Labs
- Test turnaround time is the operational and clinical KPI but the bottleneck moves around — phlebotomy, transport, accessioning, instrument, or result-release — and the operating model rarely sees the whole chain.
- Reimbursement is under sustained pressure — PAMA, payer down-coding, and Z-code requirements all shrink the realized price per test.
- LIS-to-EHR integration is brittle and expensive; every new client integration is a custom project that delays revenue and complicates support.
Where it pays to act
- Turnaround-time optimization AI — bottleneck identification and dynamic instrument routing across the lab workflow.
- Test-utilization and reflex-test AI — appropriate-test-ordering decision support for ordering clinicians.
