Chapter 1: Introduction

Introduction

10 minutes

An introduction to the Power of Process Blended course on LabVine.

Chapter 2: Linking strategic objectives with laboratory performance

The impact of the macro environment on the lab

40 minutes

We discuss the various factors of the macro environment that could negatively impact the laboratory business and how to align our operations to ensure survival.

The importance of diagnostics in healthcare

5 minutes

The laboratory is the heart of healthcare. We discuss the importance of diagnostics in the healthcare industry.

Innovation with certainty

20 minutes

To be innovative, labs need certainty. We discuss the importance of certainty and understanding your true potential.

The 8 Principles of Laboratory Performance

40 minutes

An introduction to the 8 Principles of Laboratory Performance, developed to minimise risk, maximise impact and drive performance in the laboratory.

Chapter 3: Analysis of laboratory performance

The laboratory value chain

40 minutes

We look at the full value chain of the laboratory and how specific variables could impact performance.

The laboratory as a process

25 minutes

To improve the performance of the laboratory, we must first understand what a process is. We look at the definition of a process and how this relates to a laboratory.

Boost the bottom line or bust

40 minutes

We remain relevant only if we strive for a tangible bottom line impact. We look at Principle 1: Boost the bottom line or bust.

Chapter 4: Gathering performance data

Lead with a common language

25 minutes

We are more efficient when we understand our business and share ownership of what we are trying to achieve. We look at Principle 2: Lead with a common language.

Data, data sources and data gathering

40 minutes

The laboratory generates immense amounts of data daily. We look at the main data sources in a laboratory, the data types and how to collect data that can be used to inform performance improvement.

Chapter 5: Translate the laboratory operation into a process map

Trust the transparency

30 minutes

We are more effective when we commit to sharing information across boundaries within our organisation. We look at Principle 3: Trust the transparency. We consider the different levels of process mapping and how to create a level 1 map.

Translating processes into process maps

200 minutes

We look at how to translate your processes into a process map to understand your processes and enable the identification of improvement opportunities. We discuss an international industry standard in process mapping and simulation called Business Process Modelling and Notation (BPMN).

Similis as a process mapping application

240 minutes

An introduction to Similis, a cloud-based process mapping and simulation tool, which will assist you to map and document your processes.

An introduction to simulation

20 minutes

An introduction to simulation, the various types, and its potential in performance improvement in the laboratory.

Chapter 6: Identify performance improvement opportunities

Facts or figures, no fluff

150 minutes

We make smart decisions when we present the business case openly and honestly. We look at Principle 4: Facts or figures, no fluff. We also look at key performance areas, key performance indicators and benchmarking.

Driven by decisiveness

200 minutes

We move faster when we have the power to act with certainty — and without hesitation. We look at Principle 5: Driven by decisiveness. We look at tools that will assist you to analyse identified problems on a high level and how to create scenarios to improve performance.

Accuracy is paramount

15 minutes

We get things done accurately when we set our expectations and measure our results. We look at Principle 6: Accuracy is paramount. We discuss how to build your business case and implement your performance improvement project with confidence.

Sustain innovation

20 minutes

We look at the 7th and 8th Principle of Laboratory Performance which will explain how to sustain innovation. We discuss the importance of empowering each other.
