AUSTIN, Texas (October 6, 2014) — Now in its eighth year, the annual Lab Quality Confab and Process Improvement Institute is being held October 21-22 at the Astor Crowne Plaza in New Orleans, just steps from the famed French Quarter. This highly regarded event has to date attracted a notable list of registrants from across the country and around the world.

Lab Quality Confab presents the ideal venue for lab executives and administrators, managers, and quality team members to address the issues that so many clinical laboratory and anatomic pathology groups face today—budget cuts which demand the reduction of costs in their laboratories, while at the same time increasing productivity and maintaining, or even elevating, the quality of services in their laboratories.

“Nothing less than financial survival and the ability to remain independent are at stake for local clinical labs and pathology groups,” said Robert L. Michel, founder of the conference and Editor-In-Chief of The Dark Report. “That’s why it is smart for labs to have their top management talent at Lab Quality Confab. The things they learn on October 21-22 will help labs to immediately cut costs with no compromise in quality, and help them meet the short-term challenges created by the current budget planning cycle at their parent institutions—as well as keeping their labs on the path to clinical success and financial sustainability.”
