Washington G-2 Reports’ annual market report ranked ARUP Laboratories as the national lab offering the best value to clients, having the fastest turnaround times, and in a tie for most responsive.
SALT LAKE CITY, February 22, 2011—ARUP Laboratories, a leading national clinical and anatomic pathology reference laboratory, has been recognized as a leader in several quality categories in G-2 Reports’ U.S. Laboratory Reference Testing Market Profile & Pricing Trends 2010, including offering the best value (defined as service plus price), providing the quickest turnaround times, and being the most responsive in answering client questions and fixing problems.
“These are the types of quality indicators that are important to us as a company,” said Edward Ashwood, MD, president and CEO of ARUP Laboratories. “The best way to serve our clients is to support them as they serve their patients. Each and every sample we receive and every test we run represents a person, someone’s family member. We have found that making excellent patient care our number one priority drives up other important metrics; we believe our prime concern should be patient care, which creates long-term corporate growth.”
The Washington G-2 Reports market profile survey was sent to approximately 10,000 hospital and independent laboratories across the United States. Recognized as one of the top esoteric reference laboratories in the country, ARUP Laboratories has been included in Washington G-2’s market profiles for the last decade and has consistently ranked well among respondents.
“Being recognized as a national reference laboratory offering the best value is quite notable,” said Ashwood. “It is one thing to offer the best price, which is certainly important but that can’t be the only focus. We believe the laboratory’s role is to be an active participant in health care, screening, diagnosis, and treatment; the process does not end once the test results have been delivered. We really aim to offer our clients more laboratory test bang for their buck.”
Covering the diagnostic industry for over 30 years, Washington G-2 Reports delivers topical and analytical periodicals, proprietary research studies, and custom advisory services, and, through live and virtual events, facilitates industry meetings and information exchanges.
