Performance Insight™ Benchmarking:
The most comprehensive evaluation of turn-around time performance in the laboratory industry.

A thorough assessment of lab performance in each segment of the value stream, from test order to result verification.

  • Identifies best practice labs and labs with opportunities for improvement
  • Identifies segments of the value stream where performance is poor; areas that warrant a more detailed examination of operations. 
  • Provides baseline measures for ongoing Lean and quality process improvements
  • Quantifies potential for improvement upon implementation of Lean strategies. 
  • Provides essential Lean benchmarks, since the overall objective of Lean strategies is to reduce waste and time from order to delivery

Testing Profiles provide highly specific comparisons of performance

The Performance Insight™ assessment provides a wide range of highly specific studies including:

  • Key emergency department tests
  • Inpatient STAT testing
  • Inpatient morning draws
  • Lab test and service-specific studies in the following areas:
  • Chemistry, Hematology, Coagulation, Immunochemistry, Blood Bank, Microbiology, etc.
  • Emergency Department Lab performance

The Performance Insight™  database includes:

  • Comparisons from laboratories covering the entire spectrum of institution and laboratory type and size
  • Community, Teaching and Academic Institutions
  • Commercial and Not-For-Profit Labs
  • Rapid Response, Full Service, Core Labs
  • Labs with Total Lab and Workcell Automation
  • US and Canadian Labs
  • Lean/early Adopters
  • Specialty labs (ED, Oncology, Surgery, Clinic)
  • Over 40 million performance measurements
About Performance Insight™ Benchmarking:

"The organization and clarity of the data allows us to quickly identify improvement opportunities at each step of the process from test order to result verification.  For too long, the lab has only had data to focus on in-lab performance.  With enhanced focus on quality in health care, the lab needs to take the lead on multi-disciplinary quality improvement projects that look at the entire process."
