directors, the practical question is not whether repetitive work can be automated. It is which workflow to automate first, how to validate it, what exceptions must remain visible, and whether the operating model can justify the capital required to scale.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>That tension runs through this MDForLives survey. Respondents point to no single dominant entry point: opportunity is spread across accessioning, sample preparation and analytical testing, while value is broad, with total laboratory automation leading the capability ranking and faster turnaround and throughput leading the investment case.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Quality governance remains the counterweight. ISO 15189:2022 frames laboratory performance around quality and competence, and U.S. CLIA requires quality systems for specimen identification and integrity, test systems, quality control and corrective actions. Automation can change who performs a step, but not the laboratory&#8217;s responsibility for reliable results.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cac88d

limited by preparation or analytical capacity, and automation is not a standard package that creates the same value everywhere.<\/p><p class=\"lead\">38.4% select teeth whitening and 34.9% porcelain
