Volume comes first
Onsite capability only makes sense at sustained volume. Below that threshold, coordinated partner laboratory testing is usually the better operational choice.
Personnel and quality
High complexity testing carries specific personnel, quality control and proficiency requirements. Those obligations are ongoing, not one-time.
Space and workflow
Physical requirements and specimen flow through the practice are frequently underestimated.
The honest answer may be no
A feasibility assessment that concludes onsite testing is not appropriate has still saved the practice significant cost. TMS treats that as a valid outcome.
