Consolidation – Why?
• Increased efficiency and decreased cost/test
• Enterprise subspecialty lab oversight
• Standardize enterprise quality and
compliance
• Enterprise-wide oversight of laboratory
operations and preanalytics
• Consolidated pre-analytics will improve
quality and decrease errors

Lab Consolidation Process
Highlights
• Enterprise Optimization Committee
- Members from across the enterprise –
• Hospital presidents/COO
• pathology and laboratory medicine (SME)
• Nursing
• IT, logistics, preanalytics, finance, quality
- Defining required service levels between main
campus and regional hospitals.
- Scope: Daily draw times, standardization, TAT,
couriers (q2hr), billing, communication

Pathology Consolidation Why?
• All enterprise pathology specimens with
subspecialty signout
• Improve histology and cytopathology
processing efficiency: decrease cost/test
• Pathologist RVUs 80th percentile target
• Standardize frozen section & cytology
rapid reads - ePathology
Pathology Consolidation
• Professional Subspecialty Service Model
- Frozen Section Coverage
- Surgical Pathology & Cytopathology subspecialty plan
- Credentialing
• Consolidate Technical Operations
- Accessioning, specimen tracking, courier deliveries,
histology, cytology, billing, etc.
• Facility & Equipment Prerequisites
-
Main campus office space
Biopsy cell
Digital scanners and web cams

Challenges
• Long-term, multi-year transformation
• Change throughout organization
• Aligning annual planning timeline /
process
• Organizational engagement
• Communication to all stakeholders
• Setting service level expectations
“….the pathway to improving
quality and safety is the same
pathway to lowering cost, and
that involves relentlessly taking
waste and unnecessary variability
out of our processes.”
