Manual tasks are prone to error, time-consuming and can drive up QC-related costs. The QC module of navify® Lab Operations automated manual QC processes in Huntsville Hospital, Alabama while providing full control. Results: 62.5% reduction in manual QC steps and decision points and 99% reduction of clicks. 16.3 minutes reduction in average routine turnaround times (TATs) and $46,537 projected annual savings.

Trigger and review

Once flagged, QC error details are automatically available for your review.

 Analysis

Identify QC errors' cause and clinical relevance (based on user-defined limits) and identify potentially affected patient results.

Impact assessment

With result validation, a list of potentially affected patient results is automatically generated so you can order reruns.

Contextualizing errors

After finding the source of the initial error, you can prevent it from recurring and log the occurrence for traceability.
