Shrinking budgets. Reduced Medicare reimbursement for diagnostic tests. Customer service gaps. Inefficiencies and Staff Shortages. Conquering these (and other) challenges is critical for the financial success of clinical laboratories and pathology practices.

These methods offer a real world approach to process improvement and better quality of service to patients, physicians, and other customers. Labs that are adopting Lean Six Sigma methods are reaping the benefits.
