Using Autoverification allows your laboratory to automate the review and release of patient results based on your predefined criteria. But ask yourself, “Are you getting the level of productivity and efficiency you could?” What level of automation am I achieving? 40%, 50%, 60%?

Join Dr. Matthew Krasowski of The University of Iowa as he discusses their journey from 40% autoverification with their LIS to over 99% using middleware. In addition, Dr. Krasowski will discuss:

• The University of Iowa’s experience with Autoverification
• Increasing billables per tech by 32% while volume increased by 18+%
• The University of Iowa's best practices for a high rate of Autoverification
• Catching rare events that elude low levels of autoverification
• And more

Matthew D. Krasowski, MD, PhD is a pathologist and Director of Clinical Laboratories in the Department of Pathology at The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Prior to moving to Iowa in July 2009, he spent four years at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center as director of the Toxicology and Therapeutic Drug Monitoring laboratory. He has interest in the use of informatics to improve clinical laboratory efficiency and quality.

Vancouver Coastal is an Academic Health Science Centre that processes approximately 1200 CBC's daily. With that amount of volume they needed to find a way to increase turnaround time and productivity, while still maintaining quality. With the implementation of Autoverification and Sysmex Hematology instruments, Vancouver Coastal was able to:

• Have a 95% Autoverification rate
• Have a 34% Reduction in TAT
• Create rules for Departmental Specialties
• Change instruments - Revised Rules in 2 days
• Tightly integrate CellaVision within the workflow
• Move the lab towards a paperless system

Join Data Innovations and Vancouver Coastal Health for a webinar that will walk through the process of evaluating and implementing Autoverification as well as an overview of the implementation process.
Autoverification can help save you time and money by freeing up valuable resources in the laboratory by focusing on the true exceptions. Let Vancouver Coastal show you how they did it.

Manual entry of proficiency testing is time consuming and prone to errors. You can truly automate the process by sending the results directly from the instruments to CAP's e-LAB Solutions web portal. Automatically transmitting the results eliminates the need for manual transcription, reducing PT failures and delivering results faster than ever before.

Laboratories benefit from running CAP Proficiency Testing (PT) more like a patient specimen by:

• Significantly reducing clerical errors responsible for nearly 40% of all PT failures*
• Reducing the time and resources necessary to run PT
• Re-allocating staff time to more patient-centric activities

During this session, attendees will learn more about e-LAB Solutions Connect™ - including benefits, requirements, and how to get started.

Your middleware is up and running and you are already seeing the benefits of autoverification with improved turnaround times, improved employee satisfaction and less chaos in your lab. You already have plans to expand middleware to your next workarea, but your CAP window is about to open.

Navigating the ins and outs of an inspection can be daunting. Even though middleware has helped to standardize and automate many of your lab processes, you have also increased your regulatory compliance burden. Since there is no one, right way to address a CAP inspection, knowledge sharing is the next best thing. Join us for a webinar that will walk you through the key parts of the CAP™ checklists as it relates to middleware from someone who has been the inspector and the inspected for over 20 years and more than 10 year's experience with autoverification.

During this webinar we will discuss:

• Review the following CAP Checklist(s):
  • Lab General (8.17.16)
  • All Common (8.17.16)
  • Hematology and Coagulation (8.17.16)
  • Chemistry and Toxicology (8.17.16)
• Using tools within Instrument Manager
  • Specimen Event Log (SEL), Audit Trail and Specimen Tracking
  • Rules Testing Mechanism

Data Innovations wants to help you prepare for next audit and provide helpful information on how to construct the "Evidence of Compliance" necessary to make your CAP inspection as successful as possible.
