Session Abstract – PMWC 2020 Silicon Valley
Track 4 - January 23 9.15 A.M.-10.00 A.M.
Healthcare diagnostics is at the core of clinical decision making. Early diagnosis can increase the chances of a positive outcome, helping to improve the lives of patients and save payers the costs of further treatment. As health systems move from treatment to prevention, and from volume to value, diagnostics can accelerate this shift. Investment in innovative lab services and technologies is critical in enabling hospitals and healthcare systems to improve efficiencies in the lab, optimize their laboratories to realize gains, and deliver on the imperatives of improving patient outcomes while reducing costs. This session will provide insights from payers that have been actively investing in companies developing innovative lab services and technologies.
