Improving laboratory performance with data-driven diagnostics
M Health Fairview, a partnership between University of Minnesota, University of Minnesota Physicians and Fairview Health Services, implemented navify Analytics for Core Lab in 2023 to enhance visibility into lab operations, streamline decision-making and improve overall efficiency. The transformation delivered measurable results1 across multiple performance indicators – demonstrating the powerful impact of intelligent, digital diagnostics.
High test volumes demand faster insights and smarter lab decisions
M Health Fairview, a leading healthcare provider in Minnesota, faced increasing pressure to improve turnaround times (TAT), optimize lab capacity and reduce operational costs across its extensive diagnostic network. With more than 15 million billable tests annually and a growing need for data-driven diagnostics, the organization needed a solution that could deliver timely, actionable insights without reliance on external consultants.
Enabling data-driven diagnostics and operational efficiency with navify Analytics for Core Lab
To address its operational challenges, M Health Fairview implemented navify Analytics for Core Lab in September 2023. The digital solution replaced consultant-dependent, time-intensive processes with rapid, actionable insights – available in seconds rather than weeks. With intuitive dashboards, including turnaround time (TAT) analysis and instrument utilization views, lab teams were empowered to make data-driven decisions that improved workflow, increased capacity and reduced costs – all while enhancing overall diagnostic performance.1
