Digital Transformation in Clinical Laboratories: A Practical Guide
The difference between real transformation and just installing a new printer is clarity about what you're actually trying to accomplish.
What Digital Transformation Actually Means
Moving from Paper to Digital
Eliminate paper from core workflows. Digital enables instant access, automatic audit trails, and data analysis.
Connecting Disconnected Systems
Create a connected ecosystem where LIMS, billing, EHR interfaces, and instruments work together.
Enabling Data-Driven Decisions
Use operational data to identify bottlenecks, predict problems, and continuously improve.
Redesigning Work Itself
Ask whether workflows should exist at all, not just how to digitize them.
The Transformation Maturity Model
Building a Transformation Roadmap
Map current state, define target outcomes, identify gaps, build business case.
Ensure core systems are solid: LIMS, integration architecture, data quality, change readiness.
Order entry automation, auto-verification, results delivery, billing validation.
Predictive capabilities, advanced analytics, AI-assisted workflows.
