The Benefits of an In-House Laboratory
Establishing an in-house laboratory can truly transform the way you serve your patients and manage operations. Having your own laboratory for your clinic offers items such as the following
1. Quicker Turnaround Times:
With an in-house laboratory, you can establish and maintain turnaround times that align with your clinic’s needs — including the ability to order STAT results when urgency matters. If samples are rejected, require additional information, or need re-extraction, you’ll know immediately rather than waiting for notice from a reference lab.
2. Improved Quality Assurance & Enhanced Compliance Oversight:
While all clinical laboratories must operate in compliance with the standards set forth within CLIA regulations, having your own in-house laboratory gives you and/or trusted individuals the ability to maintain direct oversight of quality and performance standards. Giving you the ability to rest easy knowing that your testing methodology is reliable and accurate.
3. Customization:
An in-house laboratory gives you the flexibility to design and implement testing panels tailored to your specific patient populations needs. In contrast, reference laboratories restrict you to their predefined testing menu, limiting your ability to provide personalized care.
4. Revenue Generation:
By bringing testing in-house, your able to keep valuable revenue within your own organization instead of allocating it to outside laboratories. Building your own laboratory means investing back into your practive, your people, and the patients you serve.
