Using Barcodes in Your Lab
Learn how to optimize barcoding to reduce errors and costs, and improve workflow and productivity in this complimentary, P.A.C.E.™-accredited webinar presented by the Fisher Healthcare™ team.
Because pathology labs are not required to barcode slides and cassettes, many still are not using this technology. Instead, they continue to use manual processes that require extensive checks and double-checks to ensure that case numbers have not been transposed; this can result in incorrect diagnoses and compromise patient outcomes.
Barcoding can reduce errors in your lab, improve workflow and productivity, and reduce your overall cost. Barcoding will also allow you to electronically access data on every specimen in your laboratory, which must be maintained and readily available for at least 10 years.
This presentation will offer a practical approach to implementing a barcoding solution to meet the needs of your particular laboratory — and there’s a solution for every lab. The implementation of barcoding in your laboratory will be the next step toward addressing some of the key issues that clinical laboratories face every day.
Learning Objectives
This webinar will help you:
- Know that there is a barcode solution for your laboratory
- Understand that the benefits far outweigh the cost of implementation
- Realize that barcoding will change your workflow and greatly improve your productivity
