Woodbury Partners' principals have for years worked to improve quality, increase productivity and reduce costs in all kinds of endeavors. We've found over the years that the keys to successful process improvement can inevitably be found in the details. That's why our operations consulting is based on getting "up close and personal" with the people and the processes that make up the core of our clients' business. We don't dive in and get out. We provide the ideas and then stay around to help get them implemented..... and we stay around to help measure the results. Below is just one successful engagement.
Major teaching hospital improves clinical laboratroy workflow through re-engineering.
The clinical chemistry laboratory was outdated and unproductive. With the assistance of a Woodbury Partners principal, the lab identified several potential new reagent systems. After appropriate clinical evaulation, the lab completed extensive cost and productivity analyses before choosing a vendor. Upon completing the implementation, turn around time has decreased, costs are down and productivity is up.
Orlando based Start-up clincial lab goes from an idea to full operations in 6 months.
The first venture capital backed start-up clinical lab in the country for a number of years initiated operations in February of 2002 after 6 months of build-out. Woodbury Partners provided several senior management consultants to the effort including acting COO, and two very experienced IT consultants. Lab operations are under way, all major instrumentation is interfaced to a fully functional lab information system and the lab's state license was obtained after an inspection that the state inspectors called the best initial inspection that they've ever performed.
