Elevating the Lab's Crucial Role for Laboratory Accreditation

Elevating Lab's Crucial Role

Laboratory team members play key roles in organizations as contributing members of multidisciplinary teams. Organizations that have active patient blood management programs should consider Patient Blood Management Certification, which would involve elevating patient care and safety and utilize key laboratory professionals to help prepare for and successfully achieve certification.

Increasing Your Laboratory's Visibility

Increasing the visibility of your hospital's laboratory within the organization requires thoughtful dedication — and a dash of creativity. While increasing lab visibility internally is critical, a large awareness gap exists beyond hospital walls. Efforts must also target external organizations, community partners and the general public to highlight the hospital lab's role in health care.

Two industry experts weigh in on the topic of visibility - Ihab Abumuhor, Director of Laboratory Services at Torrance Memorial Medical Center and Dr. Ali Brown, Chief Officer of Medical Quality, The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP).
