Laboratory stewardship – the careful, responsible, and evidence-based management of laboratory resources to reduce clinically unnecessary lab testing – is important to every hospital and health system. However, it can be difficult to get a successful laboratory stewardship program off the ground.

Insufficient IT resources and lab testing data, the lack of a formal governance structure and poor alignment between departments or facilities can all prevent health systems from achieving their desired outcomes.

During this 30-minute webinar, hc1 + Accumen’s Lab Stewardship team lay the framework for creating a sustainable laboratory stewardship program. Our in-house experts explain how engaging the right people, implementing the right processes and frameworks, and access to reliable technology are all necessary to generate positive outcomes.

Discussion topics include:

• A brief background on laboratory stewardship
• What people should be included in a lab stewardship committee
• Proven processes for implementing and growing a lab stewardship program
• The data and technology necessary to uncover problem areas and track progress
