This month, we are proud to recognize Brenda Hanavan, Laboratory LIS Specialist, for advancing patient care through innovation and dedication.
After 14 months of planning, testing, and collaboration, Brenda played a key role in successfully implementing laboratory autoverification at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. This milestone now allows approximately 60% of normal lab results to automatically verify in Cerner, reducing turnaround times and improving efficiency. 🧪💻
With this advancement, laboratory technologists can focus their expertise on complex results requiring closer review, strengthening accuracy and patient safety. Most importantly, patients and providers receive faster, more reliable results to support timely care.
Brenda’s persistence, technical expertise, and commitment to excellence reflect the very best of our mission. We are grateful for her leadership and proud to celebrate her impact. 👏
