AUSTIN, Texas (October 22, 2012) — Now in its sixth year, the annual Lab Quality Confab and Performance Improvement Institute is being held Nov. 6-7 at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio, on the famous Riverwalk. This highly-regarded event has to date attracted an impressive list of registrants from across the country and around the world.
Lab Quality Confab presents the ideal venue for senior executives and administrators, managers, and quality team members to address the issues that so many clinical laboratory and anatomic pathology groups face today—raising the quality of services in their laboratories, while also increasing productivity and decreasing costs.
“Lab Quality Confab is now the best-attended meeting in the lab industry,” said Robert L. Michel, founder of the conference and Editor-In-Chief of The Dark Report (www.darkreport.com). “Since its inception in 2007, Lab Quality Confab has continually grown in both size and reputation. It is the one meeting where clinical laboratory managers and pathologists come together—not only to share their successful process improvement methods, insights, and innovations—but to also gather the most accurate and practical information about how to use these performance improvement techniques in their laboratories.”
