Labs operate around the clock and rely on night shift teams, who often face challenges such as limited staff, fewer resources, and less supervision. In this interactive session, we will explore these issues, including inconsistent quality checks and communication gaps between shifts, by sharing practical tips and real-life examples for improving workflows and staffing. Participants will join hands-on discussions to quickly apply solutions that boost efficiency, reduce errors, and help things run more smoothly. We will also cover how to use the ASCP Negotiation and Advocacy Toolbox to request stronger support from leadership for 24/7 labs. By the end, you will have practical tools, advice, and resources to help night shift teams perform better, feel more satisfied at work, and provide better patient care.
