The goal of Pathology Clinics is to improve the patient experience by educating patients about their diagnoses and laboratory test results; and to increase the visibility of the clinical laboratory by showcasing pathology and laboratory medicine’s crucial role in high-quality patient care. Laboratorians and pathologists are in a unique position to do this work as new practice models position us to sustain these practices into the future.
This webinar, hosted by a renowned lineup of experts who are pioneers in the area of Pathology Clinics, will provide an opportunity to learn from others’ strategies, tools, and tactics for implementing similar solutions in your practice in ways that add value to your practice and the healthcare systems in which you operate.
