What You Can't Miss – In a Nutshell
The lab in 10 years from now
- Improved error detection.
- AI driven process improvements.
- Larger amounts of data are processed.
- Issues are managed in real time rather than reactively.
AI in preanalytics - what Jaime would love to see
-
AI-supported patient communication. (e.g. reminders for fasting prior to specimen collection)
-
AI helping patients and clinicians by walking them through a specimen collection process.
-
A chatbot to answer common questions Specimen prioritization, workflow optimization.
What makes a good phlebotomist
-
Being able to put people at ease.
-
Be good at what you do.
-
Be able to follow procedures and SOPs, even under stress.
“By embracing digital tools, we'll be able to reduce a lot of the manual errors. I think we'd be able to do things like enhance traceability of specimens, perhaps even improve specimen integrity by having some type of real-time tracking.”
