	Review Education Modules Gaining Efficiencies in Laboratory Workflow Managing Various Sample Types Continuing Education Certification				Gaining Efficiencies in Laboratory Workflow This presentation focuses on the procedures involved with nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) in an infectious disease testing laboratory (microbiology). The goal of the presentation is to examine and review the procedures involved with producing a NAAT test, from sample collection through archiving patient results. Evaluating procedures beyond performing the assay can be beneficial in identifying new areas to improve laboratory performance and turnaround time. In particular, areas in which laboratory automation could be considered for improving laboratory workflow and efficiency are discussed.
