The Changing Landscape of Healthcare Diagnostics—How Will It Affect Patient Care?
Over 70% of the clinical decisions physicians make on how to treat patients are based on lab tests, yet the laboratory industry is facing unprecedented obstacles that threaten to stifle innovation, and prevent patient access to life saving new technologies. This discussion will center around the various advances of laboratory medicine and how regulation, reimbursement, and politics are radically changing the dynamics of healthcare delivery and the resulting impact that will have on patient care.
