Speaker:
JONATHAN GENZEN. UNiversity of utah / arup laboratories.
Overview:
This lecture will describe how pre-analytical and post-analytical automation can help to improve efficiency and quality across small, medium, and large size clinical laboratories. It will also discuss emerging technologies in use across manufacturing settings that also can provide benefits to clinical laboratories, including software solutions called robotic process automation. The benefits of standardization will be emphasized across solutions presented.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the importance of automation in pre-analytic processing to reduce the risk of pre-analytical error.
- Describe the benefits of standardization for routine aliquots and in molecular infectious disease testing.
- Explain how robotic process automation can lead to clinical laboratory efficiency and process improvement.
