Workflow mapping in pathology laboratories

Illustration of four engineers and technologists in different work situations: two people collaborating on a document, one person analysing with a magnifying glass, and one person doing research with a microscope.

NITO BFI Pathology has initiated a national survey of work processes in Norwegian pathology laboratories, based on skin samples. The goal is to gain better knowledge about workflows, bottlenecks, capacity and opportunities for improvement.
