NCMC Trustee Report--December 10, 2018
Matt Hailey, Director of NOCO Laboratory, shared with the trustees that all
laboratories within the Western Division of Banner Hospital Group will be
integrated and managed under a wholly owned Banner subsidiary called LSA, or
Lab Sciences of Arizona.
The integration process began July 2017. All facilities will be integrated by
December of 2019 and will be added 1-2 at a time starting in February. There is
no impact on employee salaries, benefits, etc. since Banner completely owns
LSA. Integration will allow consistency across all areas, i.e., compliance,
equipment constraints, clinical standards and standardization. Integration will
ensure all laboratories are following best practices--and will be especially
beneficial to those facilities located in more rural locations.
