CompuNet Clinical Labs

Overview

CompuNet Clinical Laboratories needed a way to maintain quality while meeting customer demands in light of a shrinking supply of qualified laboratory personnel. Data Innovations provided a solution using Instrument ManagerTM for autoverification that resulted in consistency of result production, improved quality and made more efficient use of the staff’s time. This allowed CompuNet to offer additional tests in house and significantly improve turnaround time for routine work.
