SAVE $$$ NOW—EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS August 31!!



Traditional engineering practices such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
(FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) are now being employed in clinical
settings with significant success. Let us show you how to enhance patient
safety, maximize resource allocation, and enhance data collection through
the optimization of laboratory processes.



Attend and know:

* How tools such as FMEA and FTA can help identify “at-risk” lab processes
before they lead to medical error

* Process-management tools that provide a disciplined environment to
implement risk-avoidance solutions

* Implementation of risk management, design control, and hazard analysis as
integral components of lab operations



Learn how the principles of failure analysis, risk assessment, and process
control can not only help ensure that patients receive proper care, but also
help you eliminate wasted time, materials, rework, and errors. Find out how
you can start using these methodologies today!
