Healthcare institutions have the opportunity to highlight their commitment to continuous improvement and patient safety, earning even more public trust.
Metricare is a comparative indicator management platform that facilitates decision-making in healthcare and wellness companies. Developed by Controllab and endorsed by the Brazilian Society of Clinical Pathology / Laboratory Medicine in its laboratory module, the platform enables organizations to enhance their management by monitoring performance indicators and benchmarking against the market.
Comparative indicator management in practice
Metricare provides participants with essential data for laboratory management, such as sample recollection rates, team productivity, result delivery delays, incorrect reports, average ticket size, performance in Proficiency Testing, and many other indicators – check out the full list.
For example, let’s look at some data on the Result Delay Indicator:
- In 2023, half of the laboratories recorded 12 delayed results per 1,000 patients.
- Laboratories with lower performance had 23 delays per 1,000 patients, while those with higher performance recorded only 5 delays per 1,000 patients.
Result Delay Index per 1,000 patients

The result delay indicator reflects a laboratory’s efficiency in meeting deadlines and its influence on physician and patient satisfaction. Delays can compromise patient safety and the lab’s competitiveness, while shorter turnaround times demand more agile processes. Setting deadlines strategically is crucial to balancing quality, efficiency, and sustainability.
How could laboratories that recorded 12 or 23 delays per 1,000 patients reassess their internal targets without market data? Without this information, how would they understand how much they still need to improve to become more competitive and attractive to their audience?
Continuously tracking the benchmarking results of laboratory indicators enables more accurate decision-making, helping define goals and implement strategic actions. This leads to continuous improvements in processes and patient safety—a competitive advantage for laboratories that invest in quality management.
