How do you know this? The over staffing at the other labs make no sense unless that is the plan. To close Monrovia and divide up the work between the two labs. There are laws limiting the number of Paps that a tech can read in a 24 hour period...the equivalent of 80. There are non-gyns, fna's and biopsies to be read, transcribed and reported.
Neither of these labs can handle the volume now without significant sacrifice to TAT. The Monrovia lab might be expensive, but from the outside looking in, it is state of the art. What a waste to throw that away.
What is the real reason for the drop in volume? Mismanaged transition?
