  1. FEATURED TEAM: Laboratory, Anaheim Medical CenterDoing blood work in time for morning rounds WHAT THEY DO: To speed up the processing of blood draws: RESULTS: Between August and November 2010, blood work was processed by 9 a.m. 93 percent of the time, up 20 points from when the project started in February 2010. • Lab assistants pick up blood specimens on the 6th and 7th floors of the hospital at 6 a.m., rather than having a runner deliver them. • Lab assistants drop off specimens every half-hour throughout the day, instead of a runner delivering them. • Clinical lab scientists from other lab department help process blood in the morning. • Clinical lab scientists start work at 6 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. on the weekends. Read more about the teams work and other successful practices on the Labor Management website, www.LMPartnership.org.
