“ Healthcare systems throughout the world differ
in many ways. Yet, they all share a need to manage costs more effectively. The clinical laboratories within these systems have determined that process improvement can help them achieve new levels of operational efficiency. At Beckman Coulter, we see every step of the laboratory analysis process as a potential opportunity for improved efficiency. We call this “The Power of ProcessTM.” We help laboratories realize The Power of Process through software that identifies ways to improve workflow and consolidate instrument systems. This customized approach to process improvement enables us to find the best way to maximize efficiency for laboratories of all sizes and structures. Our progressive automation solutions enable one laboratory to target a labor-intensive operation such as sample preparation, while another might make fundamental changes to its workflow by standardizing testing platforms or consolidating workstations. Yet, another may find that, because of its considerable volume, it is best suited for total laboratory automation. Our automation solutions give laboratories — in both life science research and clinical diagnostics — the ability to introduce process improvements that impact efficiency today…and allow for system enhancements tomorrow.”
