We started the
Laboratory Management Professionals healthcare group
to provide a networking environment to
exchange ideas, learn, educate and solve common problems in
our industry.
Created in 2009 as a courtesy to our profession,
it has grown to 16,000+ members and is the largest professional
laboratory management group on
 .
The group has five major objectives. |
-
To promote
knowledge and create an environment to learn through open
discussion, Q&As,
education & training updates and the posting of
industry-specific workshops, seminars, conferences and news
events.
-
To encourage open discussion
of industry-specific related topics such as quality
improvement, service/process improvement, outreach,
informatics, business intelligence, cost
management, benchmarking, performance metrics, licensure,
accreditation, compliance and payment.
- To encourage the posting of job
opportunities, availability, recruitment
&
hiring and networking collaboration.
-
To enlighten members of valuable
products/services in the “Vendors
&
Resources” subgroup.
-
To build a laboratory
community as the source of all professionals in our
industry.
