Learn About the Single Most Important and Proactive Solution to Remaining Profitable in Today’s Rapidly Changing Environment

Inflation remains a problem, and clinical laboratories and pathology groups continue to grapple with unprecedented supply chain disruptions and workforce shortages. These ongoing challenges are intensifying financial pressures across the industry, making it increasingly difficult to maintain profitability, even as laboratory services become more vital than ever.

While test volumes continue to fluctuate, the overall cost of doing business has risen sharply, further squeezing margins. At the same time, shifting demand toward UTI, STD, and toxicology testing is forcing labs to adapt quickly, reevaluate clinical laboratory management, and pivot their operations to stay competitive in an evolving market.

What is the Formula for Remaining Profitable During Turbulent Times?

The initial focus must be on improving laboratory workflow management efficiency, optimizing laboratory revenue cycle management (lab RCM), increasing clean claim rates, and reducing denials—all while navigating rising labor costs and high staff turnover. But relying on quick fixes like extending business hours, increasing workloads, or hiring just to fill positions can backfire. These stopgap measures often undermine efficiency, accuracy, and compliance, ultimately increasing risk and long-term costs.

Addressing problems in isolation by throwing money at them may offer temporary relief, but it fails to resolve the root causes. Without a strategic, long-term approach to lab billing and operational management, labs risk entering a costly cycle of escalating expenses and shrinking revenue, putting sustainability and growth at serious risk.

Now is the time for all diagnostic labs to upgrade their businesses and adopt an advanced LIS laboratory information system software infrastructure that can seamlessly and limitlessly scale to match the growing demands and ever-changing landscape. It’s time to future-proof one’s business with a shield that enables labs to address future challenges efficiently and profitably.

What is the ‘Shield’ and How Can it Benefit My Lab?

It’s referred to as “best-in-class pathology lab software automation” due to the ability to unify laboratory information system (LIS software) with lab revenue cycle management components into a single informatics platform designed to streamline all aspects of clinical lab workflow by creating a user-friendly and intuitive, centralized LIS lab application with powerful billing software for labs functionality. 

Thanks to this highly customizable automation, clinical labs can tailor their laboratory billing solutions to minimize or eliminate manual intervention at every stage of the lab RCM process. The all-in-one pathology management software platform efficiently and accurately manages tasks such as eligibility verification, preauthorization, coding, charge assignment, claim submission, rejection and denial handling, payment posting, denial analysis, secondary and tertiary auto-billing, collections, appeals, client and patient billing, and even support for payment plans.
