Clinical Lab 2.0

As we prepare for our 8th annual #PublicWorkshop in #Chicago next week, a reminder that #education regarding the ways in which Clinical Lab 2.0 is pushing for a future centered on #wholepersoncare is one of the four pillars of our movement feels pertinent. ?? This is why we are pleased to announce collaborative efforts with the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation (COLA) to proctor the #crucialconversation promoting a shift from #reactiveconfirmationtoproactiveprediction at the COLA Laboratory Enrichment Forum in May 2025.???? A panel including our President and CEO Khosrow Shotorbani, our Chair of the Board Dr. James Crawford, and our Board Members Nancy Stratton and Octavia Peck Palmer, Ph.D. will detail how to support the #healthcare ecosystem via the Clinical Lab 2.0 model. ???????????????? Participants will learn how to leverage the power of laboratory #longitudinal #data to initiate proactive #riskstratification, identify gaps in care, recognize high-risk patients in the early stages of disease, and amplify clinical actions for interventions and toward preventive practices. These #strategies will help enhance the contribution that #clinicallaboratories make toward whole person care and #populationhealth. ???? THERE ARE ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT to get Early Bird pricing via the link below! Secure your spot NOW at COLA's 2025 Laboratory Enrichment Forum to immerse yourself in discussions with #pathologists, #laboratorydirectors, regulatory #experts and seasoned #laboratory professionals.

The countdown to our 8th annual #PublicWorkshop has begun! We are seven days away from our first morning’s events, and, in case you’ve missed our exciting session announcements over the last several weeks, we wanted to take a moment to share some of the highlights you can expect when you choose to join us in #Chicago for the #crucialconversation shaping the future state of the #laboratory industry. On Monday, March 3, after a brief welcome from our President and CEO, Khosrow Shotorbani, Octavia Peck Palmer, Ph.D., Vice Chair of Health Equity and Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, will kick off the events of the morning with a presentation on #healthequity and facilitate a panel on #consumerengagement to include Cherise Shockley, Founder of Diabetes Social Media Advocacy, and David Johnson, author and CEO of 4sight Health.?? ? Monday late morning’s activities include a presentation on driving #transformational care by Dr. Myra Wilkerson, Chair of the Diagnostic Medicine Institute of the Geisinger Health System. Clinical Lab 2.0’s four committees will then each offer insight into their efforts and initiatives through short presentations framing our movement and will thereafter field questions and comments from the audience, facilitated by our own Chair of the Board, Dr. James Crawford.

Clinical Lab 2.0 is dedicated to improving #wholepersoncare and #wellness through a #riskstratification model designed to identify patients’ potential future disease-states in an attempt to forestall onset or completely avoid disease development altogether, thus improving #patientcare, #longevity, and #health.?This is what #proactiveprediction is all about! ?? #Reengineering the #laboratory from reactive confirmation to proactive prediction is essential. Our model serves as a #catalyst to create new strategies and alternative payment models, as well as foster #industry partnerships. Dr. Richard Zarbo, a Project Santa Fe Foundation Board Member and the Senior VP and Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Henry Ford Health, will be leading a panel discussion at our #PublicWorkshop in early March demonstrating how utilizing the currently dormant lab #data can improve patient outcomes and create sustainable #value.??? The intention is to convey the blueprint of a proactive prediction #platform utilizing #proactive risk stratification of chronic kidney disease (#CKD) as a clinical case that is scalable to other high prevalence conditions in #healthcare. In this session, a distinguished panel of experts, including Elizabeth Montgomery of the National Kidney Foundation, Kathleen Swanson MS, RPh of Project Santa Fe Foundation, Jennifer (Albee) Houlihan, MSP of Atrium Health, Tricia Ravalico of Abbott, and Gaurav Sharma, MD FCAP of Henry Ford Health, will join Dr. Zarbo. Key components needed to reengineer #clinicallaboratories’ future role by developing proactive prediction models and strategically planning for the labs’ quantifiable role in risk-based healthcare will be covered. Panelists will highlight #disease prevalence, patient #engagement, the role of the laboratory’s expertise, #populationhealth, measurements of outcome, and local, national, and international challenges.??? Join us in #Chicago for this dynamic discussion – there are still a few seats available! ???

Healthcare #revolution is nigh, and the future of clinical laboratories is being redefined. The focus is shifting toward #patient #engagement and #consumer #activism, which are both crucial for fostering #health #equity. Traditional #healthcare models have often overlooked the #diverse needs of populations, making the transition to the Clinical Lab 2.0 model urgent, as it emphasizes empowering patients early in their healthcare journeys, transforming them from passive recipients to active advocates for their health. Join us in #Chicago March 3-4, where you will hear from and can engage directly with experts like Octavia Peck Palmer, Ph.D., Cherise Shockley, and David Johnson. ?? They comprise a #panel that will highlight the importance of integrating actionable insights from clinical data to uncover #disparities in healthcare access and outcomes. Addressing the #aging population and the accompanying disease burden will be covered,?as well as?the significance of recognizing demographic determinants, funding fatigue, and chronic pandemics as critical factors influencing healthcare today. By fostering #collaboration among #pathology, #lab #management, and #industry partners, #clinicallaboratories can evolve beyond mere test processing to play a vital role in achieving equitable healthcare. Through harnessing the power of patient engagement and consumer activation, a more equitable system where everyone receives the care they deserve can be achieved. There are still a few seats available, and we're less than two weeks away from the #Workshop! Register today!! ???
