Case Study: VA Lab increases productivity and patient care with Data Innovation's autoverification solution

VA Lab saves 13 cases of paper in one quarter with Data Innovation

The VA Lab, a federal laboratory, faced challenges with manual processing of diagnostic orders, leading to inefficiencies amidst a national shortage of lab professionals. To address this, they partnered with vendor Data Innovations to implement a solution using autoverification through IM middleware.

Data Innovations' implementation of autoverification delivered significant results for the VA Lab. The solution provided an immediate decrease in technologist stress and improved patient care through consistent application of rules. Measurable impacts included saving 13 cases of paper and 5 toner cartridges in the first quarter alone, while also decreasing turnaround times and improving data security by reducing paper-based protected health information.
