Medical Laboratory Performance Benchmarking - Current Practice and Future Perspectives

In the age of evidence-based medicine, evidence-informed decision making is rapidly gaining influence. However, clinical performance as well as management quality are relative concepts and thus need to be assessed in relation to current practice. Medical laboratory performance benchmarking offers a powerful tool for healthcare professionals to gain an accurate understanding of the status quo in relation to others.

 

Estimating one’s own performance without benchmarking indeed is challenging, as can be exemplified by 98% of laboratories rating their performance at or above the industry average in a recent study. This webinar provides a basic understanding of a successful approach to performance benchmarking. In particular, Dr. Huf will present recent research and future perspectives to support evidence-informed decision making in medical laboratory management.
