Big changes ahead for existing clinical lab business model

The 17th Annual Executive War College is your ticket to a better understanding of what to expect in 2012 and how to position your lab for clinical and financial success. Significant changes are coming that will have a considerable impact on the way your laboratory does business—not to mention your bottom line, so register today and make sure you’re part of the action at this exciting two-day conference.

Your Executive War College experience starts with an unprecedented analysis of the business model that has sustained independent clinical laboratories for the past three decades. Listen as speakers from two of the nation’s premier business strategy consulting companies—Boston Consulting Group and McKinsey & Company—share their predictions about the financial fate of the traditional clinical lab business model. Their analyses are based on the recent shift in 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.

On day two, attention shifts to how genetic testing and molecular diagnostics are poised to transform clinical practice—and create new opportunities for labs and pathology groups to add value. Even as the financial foundation of the traditional lab business model continues to erode, some labs will transform into value-added providers of information-rich diagnostic tests.

Of course, with more than 80 presentations at this year’s Executive War College, you can choose from a wide range of sessions and speakers covering all aspects of clinical laboratory management. Join more than 700 of your peers—laboratory executives, pathologists, and other industry leaders from around the world—as we tackle the critical issues facing clinical laboratories and pathology groups in 2012.
