No longer do clinical labs have to choose between efficiency, quality, and cost – hc1 Operational Excellence delivers on all three.
Inefficiency prevents laboratories from capitalizing on untapped opportunity
Laboratories generate millions of data points that inform up to 70% of all critical healthcare decisions. Yet, the majority of labs struggle to access and analyze this data to closely monitor performance, ensure quality metrics are met, and control costs. This lack of actionable insight leads to inefficiencies that waste both time and money, requiring lab leaders and staff to work harder than necessary to maintain their day-to-day operations.
Labs that lack operational efficiency are unable to form the strong foundation needed to pave the way for growth and innovation.
Lack of Data
Only 12% of lab professionals are utilizing data analytics for all aspects of their operations, making it difficult to uncover and address inefficiencies.
Resource Constraints
Critical staffing shortages continue to plague healthcare, leaving lab leaders struggling to maintain day-to-day operations, let alone meet demands for quality and speed.
Financial Challenges
Financial challenges continue to rank as a top concern for healthcare leaders, driven by rising costs, declining reimbursements, and inefficiencies.
