SUMMARY

The merging of two community laboratories and the need to upgrade equipment offered the opportunity to improve workflow and productivity. The introduction of a new system based on dual HST Transportation modules linked in series provides the means to completely automate full blood count ( FBC ) analysis including reflex testing. Additional efficiencies have been achieved with a new hematology work area manager, Meru that is primarily used in microscopy. Molis software handles data from these two elements and acts as a single interface to the laboratory information system ( LIS ). Significant benefits have been achieved.
