The Importance of Good Governance in Lab Stewardship—Setting Your Program Up for Success

Summary

Proper governance is the most important and sometimes the most challenging aspect of developing an effective lab stewardship program. Join ARUP Healthcare Advisory Services experts, Sandy Richman and Tony Smith, as they walk you through establishing a high-functioning interdepartmental laboratory stewardship committee. They will cover the following:

• How to get approval for your program
• Objectives and activities of the planning and steering committees
• Which groups must be represented on the steering committee
• Potential challenges that may arise and strategies to overcome them
• Ways to improve collaboration with other clinical care teams in your organization

Karen Brownell, assistant vice president of Laboratory Services at Intermountain Healthcare, will share how her team successfully navigated challenges to gain support for and develop an effective lab stewardship committee.
