Lakeridge lab on top

 

Lakeridge Health has one of the top laboratories in the province, according to a new review by the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare.

Spread across the three labs in Oshawa, Bowmanville and Port Perry, the institute gave Lakeridge an overall score of 99.6 per cent.

“We met all but six of the 1,500 requirements – those are amazing results,” states Kevin Empey, Lakeridge Health’s president and CEO, in a news release. “With our strong commitment to quality and innovation, we’re leading the way for labs in the province.”

Hospital labs undergo formal assessments by the institute every four years, and take a self-assessment every two.
