I am looking for a part time person to come in and evaluate our entire system
from top to bottom, to get all our policies and procedures compliant if there
is a deficiency. This position will require more time up front then, once
systems are in place and everyone is satisfied it will likely req
Know what else you can't have enough of? Data ports. We just went live with

We still have sticky issues, especially with the 250 HP dispenser, but there

Thanks oodles and ha

Hello, I am a small GI lab and our facility is moving to a brand new building!
The building has yet to be built so I have full control on how to design my
lab. I will have about 1000-1500 sq ft. I was just wondering if anyone had
any tips for me? One thing I want to change is the type of flo
