News Update! Special Session! 2012 Compensation and Benefits Survey for Clinical Laboratory CEOs and Executives To hire and retain top executive and management talent, it’s essential that your lab or pathology group offer competitive salaries and benefits. Now you can hear about the most important trends in lab executive compensation as developed in the fourth annual Lab Executive National Compensation Survey, conducted by Slone Partners in collaboration with The Dark Report. Analysis of key trends for 2012 will be presented by Adam Slone and Tara Kochis, Principals at Slone Partners, in a session that is often standing-room only.

There’s plenty of exciting things ahead for you at this year’s Executive War College and attendance is on track to exceed last-year’s record-breaking crowd!

Featured at the opening general session on May 1 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!

Speakers from two of the nation’s premier business strategy consulting companies will publicly share their predictions of the financial fate of the current clinical lab business model. Their analyses are linked to shifts in the ownership of office-based physician practices, further declines in reimbursement for lab tests, and the impact of integrated care delivery models like ACOs and Medical Homes. Healthcare is changing and labs must respond to these developments. You’ll hear:

• A New Future for Clinical Labs: Sustainable Approaches to the Dilemma of Increased Test Utilization and Reduced Funding
  James Tucker, Principal, Boston Consulting Group, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

• Understanding ACOs, Integration of Clinical Care, and Healthcare’s Changing Landscape
  Paul Mango, Director, McKinsey & Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

On the following day, Wednesday, May 2, 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. Four speakers will carry this theme on Wednesday, starting with these two industry leaders:

• What to Expect in Clinical and Market Development of Molecular Diagnostics and Next-Gen Gene Sequencing
  Ron Andrews, President of Medical Sciences, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, California

• Role of the Cancer Registry and Tumor Bio-Repository in Improving Patient Outcomes
  Anthony M Magliocco, M.D., Program Leader, Hematopathology & Laboratory Medicine, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute, Tampa, Florida

Of course, with more than 80 presentations at this year’s Executive War College, you’ll get the full range in sessions, speakers, and topics dealing with laboratory pathology and management. This unique conference brings together key laboratory executives, pathologists, and other industry leaders who will tackle the critical issues facing clinical laboratories and pathology groups in the new year.

The 17^th Annual Executive War College is your ticket to a better understanding of what you can expect in 2012 and how to position your laboratory for clinical and financial success. Make sure you’re part of the action at this exciting two-day conference.
