The clinical laboratory industry is increasingly revolving around hospitals, health systems, and other integrated care delivery networks. Laboratories continue to be challenged with reimbursement reductions, value-based contracting demands, financial outcomes measured as total cost of care, not to mention a demand for complex and costly technologies.
These factors, along with many others, contribute to the need for laboratory directors, and hospital and health system executives to now consider alternatives to traditional practice models, along with the challenge of determining those alternatives which are viable for their particular organization.
This 60-minute program, including an interactive Q&A session, is a must-attend event for every member of the hospital, health system, or lab team responsible for the research and consideration of emerging laboratory business models such as joint ventures, affiliations, and partnership models. You’ll get answers to the tough questions and gain the knowledge you need to make the decisions right for your laboratory—those that will enhance patient care, while enabling fiscal responsibility and ongoing financial success.
You’ll learn how instituting strong medical leadership including physicians, operational leaders, medical technologists, and others— plus preserving onsite clinical expertise, enabling access to external support including innovative reimbursement strategies and technologies, along with the introduction of other key principles, can effectively contribute to your lab’s long-term health and financial sustainability.
