One suggestion is to make sure purchasing is being done through a group purchasing organization (GPO) (i.e., MedAssets, Amerinet, or Provista). A second is to review contracts that are currently in place to identify if changes could be made to lower cost vendors. I would anticipate the lab manager has done these things but these are places to start. You could volunteer to assist in these activities to increase your value to the organization.

Lots of you said there are many other ways to cut costs in the lab. I would like to hear some of your suggestions so I can take them back to my manager. I'd like to give her some legitimate alternatives to her proposal. Would like to contribute to solving the problem of cutting costs.
