Want to amplify your laboratory performance?

98% of in-patients will undergo a diagnostic laboratory test during a hospital stay.¹ With the increased focus on the accuracy of diagnostic laboratory test results to inform decisions to manage outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance, and hospital acquired infections, optimizing and automating your microbiology lab has never been more important.

Laboratory Productivity Index (LPI) is used to measure the capacity of laboratory staff to process microbiological specimens. LPI is the ratio of specimens processed per day divided by the combined fulltime equivalent (FTE) of in-scope staff.

By automating your laboratory, you can maximize LPI while increasing the capacity of your lab to take on additional sample volumes.

First, calculate your lab’s current LPI performance

Number of full-time employees:

Count two part-time employees as one full-time employee.

Number of positions open in your lab:

How many microbiology samples does your lab process?

Per Day Per Month Per year

samples processed

Your current LPI:

samples per day per FTE
