The 30 Day Lab Makeover is a digital micro-course for optimizing the veterinary laboratory, and it features four primary areas, conveniently grouped into weeks.
The 30 Day Lab Makeover incorporates short (<30 minute) videos with a few handy, downloadable and customizable tools, including spreadsheets, a training checklist template, and a PDF filled with free educational links.
You’re struggling to develop a plan to make the lab successful.
Make your laboratory work for you, your team, and your business, not the other way around.
Hi, I’m Rachel Lemcke! I’m a former Laboratory Manager at a large, premier private equine hospital in the Northeast US, where I updated and transformed the laboratory. My background in high-level wet bench techniques (qPCR, Western Blot, IHC, etc.) from my Bachelors- and Masters-research days gave me a leg up when I started at the hospital. My business mindset coupled with my Business Minor helped me analyze and grow the lab’s fiscal performance, too. In late 2020, I opened Amwell Data Services LLC, offering hands-on, customizable tools—like The 30 Day Lab Makeover—to help veterinary practices evolve. I created The 30 Day Lab Makeover to help others successfully and easily transform their lab’s performance. My goal with this is to empower veterinarians and their teams to evolve their laboratory to better serve their patients and grow their ROI.
Praise for Rachel:
"I’ve worked with Rachel for four years and developed a deep respect for her intellect, ingenuity, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. When I came to her with a small problem of underutilization, she was extremely motivated by first improving equine wellness and then incorporating that into a systematic plan that solved the immediate problem. What was born as a little “project” developed into a working relationship of improving equine wellness thru development of working, usable, repeatable “tools” that improved practice efficiency, profitability and client compliance."

The 30 Day Lab Makeover starts with an introductory video outlining the plan to optimize the laboratory.
No, I won’t be explaining how to run a CBC, or tips to keep the hematocrit clay from spinning out during PCVs.
Week One is a game-changer.
I found my way of thinking, my mentality was the single biggest thing that helped me transform that lab.
I share my ten-part ideological framework with real-life examples to help you and your team better understand what successful implementation would look like.
Week One also delves into the nitty-gritty pain and costs surrounding missed billing.
I break down WHY and HOW it’s hurting your business so much, and I share ways to empower your team to help identify and fix those missed billing gaps.
Week Two pushes deeper into the fiscal side (great for Practice and Office Managers too, wink-wink!).
Week Two lays out how to handle equipment and operational expenses, plus control inventory management (an $85 value).
I also explain the need for contingency planning. Don’t think you need one? Think again!!
It’s in your and your patients’ best interests to put a strong plan into place now, and share it with your team.
In Week Two, I lay out step-by-step how to calculate your costs that make up lab testing, from labor to primary and supplemental supplies.
It’s all wrapped up (minus a bow!) in a simple fillable spreadsheet to calculate COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) (a $225 value!).
The profit margin and markups are also calculated automatically, so you can easily keep an eye on them and plan for the future.
Saving money is just as important when it comes to strategical laboratory management.
That’s why I built an entire spreadsheet to help you identify ways to save on shipping (a $125 value),
plus I share other huge money-saving tips in the Week Two video (an $85 value).
Week Three backs up and changes course a little, from the fiscal-heavy to hands-on laboratory services.
I explain how in-house aerobic microbiology and cytology services are a win-win-win for your patients, your team, and your bottom line.
I also created a convenient clickable PDF (a $35 value) with free educational webinars, media, and even an entire 1,300-page textbook!
Week Four is all about empowering your team.
I created the T.E.A.M. Rule to help guide your Laboratory and Technician Managers with the how, when, and why cross-training helps everyone at the practice.
An easy-to-use training checklist template (a $45 value) will help hold your team accountable and keep expectations clear.
“Many hands make light work” is the motto for Week Four!
Week One: Ideological Frameworks & Billing Video – A $175 value
Week Two: Managing Operational and Equipment Expenses, Plus Inventory Management & Video + COGS Spreadsheet + Shipping Savings Spreadsheet – A $435 value
Week Three: Techniques to Advance the Lab Video + Continuing Education PDF – A $130 value
Week Four: Personnel Training Video + Personnel Training Checklist – A $130 Value
Will this do the work for me?
Nope. It will help guide you through optimizing different areas of the laboratory.
Is this applicable to companion veterinary laboratories?
Yes! The examples and some testing are tailored for equine, but it definitely applies to companion testing and services.

The 30 Day Lab Makeover starts with an introductory video outlining the plan to optimize the laboratory. No, I won’t be explaining how to run a CBC, or tips to keep the hematocrit clay from spinning out during PCVs. This micro-course goes way bigger than that, covering the biggest components of a successful veterinary laboratory.
Week Two of The 30 Day Lab Makeover digs deep into the fiscal operating and equipment costs, and incorporates spreadsheets to calculate COGS (Cost of Goods Sold) for lab testing and money-saving shipping strategies. This is a great video to share with your Practice Manager and Office Manager!
