Featured at the opening general session on April 30, 2013 is an unprecedented analysis of the existing business model that has sustained independent clinical laboratories over the past three decades. Prepare for a shock… because BIG changes are ahead in 2013.
On the following day, Wednesday, May 1, the attention shifts to how genetic testing and molecular diagnostics are poised to transform clinical practice—and create new opportunities for clinical labs and pathology groups to add value. Yes! Even as the financial foundations of the traditional lab business model erode, nimble labs will transition into value-added providers of information-rich diagnostic tests.
