Laboratory Consulting Services
Lighthouse Lab Services has a great team of medical laboratory consultants with specialized expertise, along with business professionals, to help you manage and run your lab effectively. Whether an organization is launching a new laboratory, navigating regulatory complexity, strengthening an existing operation, or preparing for its next stage of growth, we offer organizations a way to accelerate their success. Here’s how:
APPLICATION PROCESSING
Laboratory applications can be long and confusing. If they’re not completed correctly, they can cause your lab significant delays and major losses in reimbursement. Our team of experts can take care of CMS-116 and other applications for you.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT
Quality Management Services (QMS) covers all aspects of your lab’s quality program to ensure compliance and fulfill requirements for accrediting agencies.
TEST MENU CREATION
Our laboratory technical consultants are experienced in helping startups establish test menus and their necessary components. We ensure you have a test menu you’re equipped to carry out and will discuss how test complexity affects personnel requirements.
REMOTE DATA REVIEW
Remote Data Review keeps your compliance and Quality Control requirements up to date so you don’t have to.
LABORATORY BUILDOUT + DESIGN
Our team will work with your contractors and instrument manufacturers to design a laboratory with optimal workflow and maximum efficiency. We consider every detail and make sure you’re happy every step of the way.
INSTRUMENT + SUPPLY SELECTION
ON-GOING CONSULTING + SUPPORT
We provide on-going consulting and support with a monthly retainer fee. Our team is accessible five days a week to be on-call to answer your questions. We provide technical support and troubleshooting, discussion of test menu and product development – or anything you would like to discuss. We want your lab to be successful.
TEST VALIDATION
GROWTH STRATEGY
Growing your laboratory’s business is a result of making the right decision about what to do next. Our expert consultants guide you to the best solutions for your lab.
LABORATORY MANAGEMENT
Running a successful laboratory requires a knowledgeable management team with years of experience. We bridge that gap by supplying you with a team of expert consultants with more than thirty years of experience running one of the nation’s largest reference labs. With a professional laboratory consultant, you can manage your lab efficiently and successfully.
REGULATORY CONSULTING
Navigating the accreditation process is a must for your laboratory. We have the experience to guide you.
INSPECTION PREPARATION
Our cost-effective lab inspections will identify potential issues prior to a federal inspection and also serve as due-diligence inspections for those seeking to purchase an existing clinical lab. These issues can be isolated and addressed before your upcoming CLIA, COLA, or CAP inspection.
CLIA APPLICATIONS + UPDATES
We handle the paperwork and cut through bureaucracy to get our clients credentialed quickly so they can start testing.
TRAINING
Our technical team can implement training for software, operating instruments, toxicology data review, lab management, and more. Training can be on-site (at your location), remote (online) or at our location in our training center.
WRITING SOPs
Good SOPs are the most important part of a successful lab. We can write both technical and general Standard Operating Procedures as well as Quality Management plans. We make sure SOPs are compliant with applicable CLIA, CAP, COLA, Joint Commission & State documentation requirements.
PROFORMA ANALYSIS
We successfully build proformas using our years of experience so clients can make the best decisions for their laboratories.
COMMERCIALIZATION
Developing a new lab test or technology is a great accomplishment. We can help you get it to the larger healthcare market through our extensive network of laboratory partners and industry experts.
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Providing your lab the industry insights you need to stay ahead of shifting market dynamics and the competition.
