Therefore, the ideal workflow is likely not one that is concrete in nature but adaptable to accommodate the changing needs and challenges laboratories face.  \nOur guide aims to assist you in better understanding your current IHC process by identifying critical points in your current workflow. The tools provided in this guide will help you measure and improve the workflow at these critical points to help YOU determine the optimal workflow for YOUR lab not only for today, but how to assess and adapt to future changes for YOUR future workflow as well.  \nThe content is provided for general educational purposes only and should not be considered the exclusive source for this type of information.

Using pages 5 – 15 as your guide, complete YOUR high-level workflow assessment.  \n2. For each workflow tool, we have provided the following formats as applicable:  \na) Guide – explains how to use each tool  \nb) Example – shows a completed version of the tool utilized  \nc) Template – provides a blank worksheet to use for YOUR analysis  \n3. Common workflow analysis scenarios are provided on pages 35 – 37  \n4.
