Laboratory Value and Relevance: Aligning for Success
Jane Hermansen, MBA, MT(ASCP)

Laboratory leaders are challenged to demonstrate and communicate the true value of their laboratory to administrative leadership. The laboratory must be able to look both inward and outward to develop a compelling message that positions the hospital laboratory as a forward-looking asset which delivers sustainable value.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. Assess administration’s understanding of the laboratory’s contribution to organizational mission and strategy
2. Define and align laboratory relevance along three aspects: Clinical, Financial and Operational
3. Communicate laboratory value beyond historical norms
