ABSTRACT
Clinical laboratories must thrive using supportive analytical tools to maintain the cost control and profitability during economic uncertainty, the shortages of laboratorians, and public healthcare emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. R Programming is a comprehensive open-source and platform-independent tool that can manage large datasets and display key performance indicators through real-time dashboards. This study seeks to innovate the performance excellence framework of small-sized clinical laboratories located in the United States, using R Programming's Shiny App dashboard. It will also encourage small-sized clinical laboratories to transition into a next-generation enterprise by digitizing their decision-making tools and improve performance using data analytics. © 2020 IEEE.
