title: Automating clinical lab boosts quality and volume, allows more efficient use of labor.
abstract: The clinical lab at the University of Nebraska Medical Center has a robot of its own. And it's on the cutting edge of robotics with the recent addition of an automated vehicle that transports patient specimens to the lab's testing sites. The result? Staffing has been reduced and quality has gone up. Learn how UNMC was used as a test site to develop a state-of-the-art system that's already being snapped up by other organizations.
