DESCRIPTION
As the clinical laboratory generates much of the data used to diagnose, treat, and manage patients, there are many contexts in which data can be applied to improve the operation of the laboratory, the quality and accuracy of laboratory results, and patient care overall. Despite working in an environment with rich opportunities to apply data, many training programs have not provided formal training in data analytics. This webinar provides an introduction to data analytics concepts and how laboratorians can further develop their roles and skills in data analysis.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Physicians, lab supervisors, lab directors (and/or assistant directors), lab managers (supervisory and/or non-supervisory), medical technologists, point-of-care coordinators, fellows, residents, in-training individuals, and other laboratory professionals interested in data analytics and informatics.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Discover how to:
- Summarize the types and possibilities of data analytics.
- Define the terminology used in the field of data analytics to communicate with technical teams
- Describe the roles that laboratorians can play and the capabilities necessary to implement data analytics in their practice.
