Achieving financial sustainability through standardisation and integration

Around the world, laboratory services are under pressure to deliver better value while meeting financial sustainability targets of strapped healthcare systems. This is particularly acute in the public sector, where uniformity of price and quality is expected, even though operations often run in silos, with each hospital and laboratory making purchases separately. Budget is allocated
