As U.S. medical laboratories adapt to evolving challenges, both ongoing (e.g., staffing issues and cost pressures) and emerging, respondents to the 2025 MLO State of the Industry (SOI) survey on lab management best practices remain steadfast in some priorities and practices while shifting focus in others.
This year, MLO gathered responses from 180 clinical laboratory professionals, with 43% of respondents in director, manager, administrator, or supervisor positions, and most employed by hospitals (59%). Although respondents spanned labs of different sizes and testing volumes, there was a notable increase in those in labs performing more than 2,000,000 tests annually (20% in 2025, up from 12% in 2024).
Alongside the quantitative survey results, MLO presents commentary from medical laboratory professionals and technology solutions providers.
