Focus Areas to Discuss In Clinical Lab Practice at ADLM 2026
The 2026 ADLM Scientific Meeting and Clinical Lab Expo in Anaheim provides a valuable opportunity to connect with the broader clinical laboratory community. While the scale of the exhibit hall and the latest analyzer demonstrations are impressive, laboratory professionals consistently seek practical, evidence-based solutions to implement at the bench.
At the WSLH Proficiency Testing, our mission is grounded in laboratory excellence and continuous education. As we prepare for this July’s conference, our participation centers on collaborative problem-solving. Here are three core areas we are emphasizing at this year’s meeting:
Navigating an Evolving Quality Landscape
The regulatory environment for clinical testing requires continuous review and documentation. Whether adapting to new analyte requirements or updating internal quality control procedures, laboratories must remain vigilant. ADLM presents an excellent opportunity to discuss how proficiency testing programs are evolving to meet these changing regulatory standards, and how laboratories can proactively prepare for future industry shifts.
Turning PT Data into Training Opportunities
Proficiency testing serves as a vital educational resource rather than simply a regulatory requirement. By analyzing PT performance reports, laboratory leadership can identify operational trends, pinpoint specific training needs, and elevate overall staff competency. Starting conversations at ADLM about utilizing PT data for continuous staff development can help generate some new or optimized practices for you and your laboratory staff.
Streamlining Administrative Workflows
Bench time is a critical resource for clinical laboratories. Reducing administrative friction allows technologists to focus on patient care and accurate testing. Modern digital workflows, from accessing programmatic resources to downloading performance reports, must be intuitive and efficient. At WSLH PT, we remain committed to gathering feedback and refining our digital tools to support seamless laboratory operations.
Let’s Connect in Anaheim
If you are attending ADLM this year, we welcome the opportunity to hear about the unique challenges and successes within your laboratory.
We invite you to visit the WSLH PT exhibit booth #2518 to discuss quality improvement strategies, address specific program questions, or explore our online resources with us. Members of our proficiency testing technical team and customer service team will be available on-site to provide support, answer questions, and gather your feedback, ensuring our resources continue to meet the practical needs of the clinical laboratory community.
We look forward to connecting with you in California!
