Opioid overuse and addiction continue to contribute significantly to health issues of the nation’s population and to the increased cost of healthcare, making it even more vital for providers to optimally prescribe for and monitor, in the safest manner, their patients using opioid drugs.

The role of clinical laboratories in developing improvements within the continuum of care for this national health crisis is key. The lab can serve a facilitative and collaborative role by helping providers better understand drug test ordering and correct interpretation, and can add tangible value by simplifying and automating delivery of straightforward and actionable information to providers.

In this role, and to most efficiently assist doctors, pharmacists, and providers tackle the opioid crisis—it is imperative that clinical labs integrate Lab 2.0 measures in order to implement responsible, effective, outcomes-based treatment plans. Clinical Lab 2.0 is the path that is urgent for labs to follow, in order to deliver results for both patients and providers as the challenge of managing opioid use is confronted.

This 90-minute webinar, including an interactive Q&A session, will describe the valuable skills and techniques your lab needs to move beyond Lab 1.0, and to identify and implement measures for new, Clinical Lab 2.0 value-based interventions. You’ll hear a case study of one institution where a clinical need emerged regarding chronic pain management, and how their lab partnered with primary care, psychiatry, pharmacy, and others both within and outside the organization, to improve patient care, provider confidence, and overall cost of care.
