Using Lab Information to Reduce Downstream Healthcare Costs: Case Studies
Cardinal Health Lab Briefings webinar series
This webinar is presented by Ran Whitehead, Chief Executive at PeaceHealth Laboratories.
Title: Using Lab Information to Reduce Downstream Healthcare Costs: Case Studies
Overview
Laboratory testing provides more than just a snapshot of a patient’s medical condition at any point in time. Leveraging the power of the information provided by the laboratory can have significant impact on other downstream costs within the health care ecosystem and beyond to community health.
This webinar will provide case studies on how laboratory information is being used at a large integrated health care delivery system to lower cost and improve patient outcomes. Case studies will discuss how the data generated by the laboratory can help educate patient care teams, streamline/optimize test ordering, and provide visibility to patient adherence.

- Analyze the “real” value of laboratory information.
