Ye, MD, PhD, longed to spend less time preparing reports and more time interpreting slides and rendering diagnoses.

May 2015—A lab IT strategic plan: from guidance to lessons learned: For those with even the slightest bit of health care business acumen, it should come as no surprise that when health systems expand quickly through mergers and acquisitions, hospital labs often struggle to communicate and cooperate with their counterparts at far-flung sister sites.
