Good Afternoon. Bruce has
been asking me to talk about ROI for 2years.I kept telling him …
When I started practice in
1978 computers in the clinicallaboratory. Results were hand written andmanually shingled into the pt’s chart and
hand delivered to the physicians mailbox.
Today our laboratory IT
group has annual expenses of almost $5 million, supports A MULTITUDE OFsystems and has over 50 employees.Sixty percent of our capital dollars are
spent on IT.
TALK ABOUT A TRANSFORMATION!
The is nothing more critical
to the operation of a modern clinical laboratory than it’s information
systems. It complexity also constitutes our largest risk.
Computer systems don’t
produce revenue, but without them there is no revenue.
