Does the Hurdle of IT Connectivity Seem Insurmountable? LabMetrics Can Lead the Way

As the landscape of pathology and the diagnostic market evolves toward a value-based paradigm shift, many pathologist professionals are left with questions and concerns.

• How can you prepare your organization to align with the changing health care models?
• What’s the key to keeping up in the shuffle, and coming out on top?

Simply put, information technology (IT) connectivity is a major key factor in adapting to these rocky changes. G2 Intelligence clinical research* shows that value-based lab services are contingent on clinical decision support enabled by information technology, which provides practical solutions for 360 degree customer care.

According to a G2 Intelligence study, larger labs already invested in IT are at an advantage. But one third of smaller community and regional independent laboratories are not set up with IT connectivity at all, facing numerous challenges:

• Unequipped setup to handle decision support processes required by health care reform
• Stunted IT funding because payment operations still rely on a fee-for-service basis
• Limited financial incentives to adopt technological systems due to newness of value-based models

Learn how to face these challenges at this year’s two-day G2 Intelligence Pathology Institute 2014 conference running from February 28 to March 1. LabMetrics is proud to be a sponsor at this event, which will focus on helping pathology professionals successfully adapt to market changes.
