At Labcorp, we understand the important role the lab plays in patient care. We also know that lab leaders face considerable challenges in their work to improve patients’ lives.
To better understand these challenges and to shed light on their potential solutions, we surveyed 115 laboratory medicine experts at hospitals and health systems across the U.S., including pathologists, lab managers, directors and other leaders.
In The Pulse of the Lab Leader, we found:
- Only 29% of survey respondents say it’s easy to get investments
- 78% of lab managers and 86% of pathologists report difficulty recruiting qualified staff
- Only 46% believe their lab has access to the latest technology
