Technical Innovations
- Automated Services
- MuirLab's newest investment in quality improvement is the Beckman Coulter Inc. automated line. This system uses robotics and bar-code technology to sort, separate and distribute, patient samples to the appropriate testing department and equipment. As a result, order entry errors, specimen integrity, results reporting, and repeat testing will be greatly improved.
- Bar code system:
- Bar codes are used throughout the clinical lab to ensure accurate identification of the specimen, test resulting and billing processes.
- This system ensures that the specimen collected comes from the correct patient and that the correct tests are performed on the correct specimen.
- IT and LIS Systems
- Web Outreach is MuirLab's computerized order entry/result retrieval system. This innovation reduces transcription errors, improves accuracy of both patient orders and results while providing the ordering physician real time access to potential critical patient information.
