More and more, the health care system is relying on the Internet and modern communication tools to provide rapid, high-quality patient services and delivery of health information. Laboratories, in particular, are under intense pressures to quickly move patient testing data from the point of sample accession to the testing device, and from there to the LIS or HIS where it can become a permanent part of the patient record.

Internet-based lab portals are one tool that can expedite this movement of information from the testing site to remote locations that can be accessed by physicians, patients, and authorized health care personnel. Find out how you can use Internet portals to make the most of non-traditional laboratory business models and boost your lab's volume and bottom line through web-enabled direct access testing.

Want to learn more about what the Internet can do for your lab? Interested in developing a DAT program? If the answers are yes, plan on joining us in sunny Miami Beach, Fla., on February 27-28 for AACC's "Lab Portal Jamboree - Powering Your Lab with Web Functionality," conference. Not only will you hear from fellow laboratorians how they have improved their quality, communications and operations through Internet applications, but you will also have access to the major Internet service providers and their products.
