EMPOWER YOUR LABORATORY WITH TOTAL VALUE OF OWNERSHIP
Total Value Of Ownership
DO YOU KNOW THE TOTAL VALUE THAT LIES WITHIN AND BEYOND YOUR
LABORATORY WALLS?
ABSTRACT
In today’s healthcare environment, leaders are increasingly asked to demonstrate value in terms of operational and clinical care excellence across their healthcare institution. The clinical laboratory is viewed as an important contributor to key performance indicators, and as a result, laboratory managers want to maximize the value that the laboratory brings to their institutions.
The concept of Total Value of Ownership (TVO) considers all aspects of a laboratory’s processes and equipment and identifies areas where improvements can be made to maximize value. When the laboratory delivers services to its full potential, it can help improve outcomes system-wide, enabling the institution to make a positive impact on patient outcomes.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this webinar, you will:
- Learn about the Total Value of Ownership (TVO) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) methodologies,
- Understand how you can apply these methodologies to improve your laboratory’s operational performance and maximize its value to the organization, and
- Hear first-hand experiences, like: a TVO-based analysis conducted by Abbott for the Korea Clinical Laboratory, and a comparative TCO analysis of 5 leading analytical platforms, including the Alinity ci-series, performed by an independent laboratory.
