Laboratory data is foundational to most clinical decisions. Furthermore, laboratory medicine can have a dramatic ripple effect in transforming overall care when leveraged as an asset in strategic planning. Abbott has been instrumental in elevating this opportunity, partnering with key healthcare organizations and leading the UNIVANTS of Healthcare Excellence Award program which recognizes integrated care teams who have leveraged laboratory diagnostics to drive care transformation.
Fawn Lopez, publisher of Modern Healthcare, sat down with members from three of the winning care teams this year as well as two international leaders from world-renowned organizations in laboratory medicine to explore their best practices in leading collaboration across disciplines, including the core laboratory, to reshape care pathways and ultimately achieve measurably better outcomes.
