Choose the right perspective
Match the person's setting to yours, since a hospital laboratory inside an EHR environment faces different integration and governance questions than an independent reference or pathology lab. Also consider whether you need clinical pathology, anatomic pathology or outreach experience, because the systems and workflows differ.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you organize a laboratory information systems team and divide responsibilities with central IT and the EHR team?
- 02How do you manage instrument interfaces, test build changes and validation without disrupting result reporting?
- 03How do you plan and run a laboratory information system replacement or consolidation across several sites?
