The goal of the laboratory is to improve patient care by delivering the highest quality slides to the pathologist in the shortest amount of time. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/process-improvement-methods-in-histology-laboratories/ Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Ph.D. Katja Lehmann In October 2008, Leica Microsystems worked with Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire to design and set-up a Lean laboratory. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/lean-laboratory-design-case-study/ Wed, 12 Oct 2011 13:53:04 +0200 Ph.D. Katja Lehmann Sample tracking systems help reduce misdiagnosis by positively identifying patient tissue throughout the diagnostic process. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/specimen-tracking-helping-prevent-misdiagnosis/ Fri, 03 Jun 2011 00:00:00 +0200 Mikko Rasanen By understanding and adopting lean principles, laboratories can achieve more efficient workflows by eliminating steps, reducing waste, and producing higher quality slides more quickly than ever before. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/setting-up-a-state-of-the-art-laboratory/ Tue, 09 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0100 Ph.D. Katja Lehmann Lean – everybody has heard of it and we would all like to have the claimed productivity benefits, but does it work for real-world ­histopathology? Johnathon Deniz, Automation Product Manager at Leica Microsystems, takes Lean out of the text books and into the histology laboratory to show that Lean Histology™ does offer great potential to laboratories, pathologists and patients. http://www.leicabiosystems.com/pathologyleaders/the-secret-of-lean-histologytm/ Tue, 12 May 2009 00:00:00 +0200 James Anderson
