Created in 1998, the health system\'s laboratory model consists of a strategically located core lab that uses total laboratory automation and offers consolidated testing, a rapid response lab in each of the system\'s 18 hospitals, a standardized LIS, and standardized laboratory instrumentation. The core laboratory performs over 3.5 million tests annually for a client base comprised of hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinical trials, physician offices, and reference testing. The lab performs approximately 65% of the routine testing for the network as well as all microbiology, esoteric, molecular diagnostic, and reference testing. info@sixsigmaonline.org (Six Sigma Training Assistant) Sun, 24 Sep 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.sixsigmaonline.org/articlelive/articles/165/1/The-Lean-Six-Sigma-Training-Supply-Chain-separating-fact-from-fiction/Page1.html Are you hearing buzz about Lean and Six Sigma training?
