Discovery & Bench Projects

Digitally Transform Your Lab with Confidence

Digital transformation in the lab can be a big investment. But it doesn't have to be. We prefer targeted, well defined bench projects. These solve problems quickly, build momentum, and deliver a fast return on investment.

Over our 25+ yrs of lab informatics experience, we've seen it all. From large implementations at firms like Coca-Cola, Dow and Merck we know the nuances and what it takes to win. We start with Discovery and Bench projects, then leverage our proven Pathfinder Framework to smartly modernize your lab on your schedule.

DISCOVERY PROJECT

On-Site Lab Audit & Strategy Sprint 

Overview

A Discovery Project is best when you know you want to modernize the entire operation. Typically a four-week sprint, we focus on gaining a deep understanding of current state and developing a plan to efficiently move you to your desired future state —complete with a custom transformation roadmap and implementation-ready user stories.

What's Included

- Two (2) Executive Laboratory Informatics Experts
- Two (2) Senior Laboratory Information Scientists
- 1-week on-site audit (M-F)
- Recommendations to improve each lab
- Roadmap planning and lab upgrade prioritization
- Example user story deep dive

Deliverables

- Prioritized roadmap with detailed timelines
- Comprehensive user stories across all modules
- SPERT-based (Monte Carlo) phase-by-phase budget
- Strategy briefing with project roadmap & next-step options

BENCH PROJECT

Remove Waste. Add Capacity.

Popular Bench Projects

Quick, high impact efforts to fix wasteful problems. Examples include:

- Implement barcoding to improve traceability  
- Clean-up inventory control and freezer mapping to prevent searching
- Connect instrumentation to eliminate manual data entry
- Install portal to eliminate manual search of legacy files
- Establish 'lab health dashboard' for real-time visibility into operations
- Automate notifications to reduce manual processes and deliver real-time visibility (e.g. NAHLN messaging)

Week 1

- Define scope & goals (SMART metrics)
- Identify stakeholders, user acceptance testing (UAT) process
- Finalize success criteria and “done” definitions

Weeks 2+

- 2-week sprint cycles
- Progress reviews and midstream adjustments
- Delivery of tested, working solution
