Executive War College on Lab and Pathology Management
As an Indian who is committed to seeing our diagnostic industry featuring prominently on the global map of clinical diagnostics, it was indeed a wonderful opportunity to speak on behalf of our industry at a global conference on lab and pathology management, The Executive War College in Miami, on May 10 & 11. (Refer http://www.executivewarcollege.com/ for agenda and details).
The War College is called so as a reference to preparing laboratory managers for battle in the competitive, evolving diagnostic industry. The conference included 700 delegates from 15 countries, and tackled topics ranging from revenue cycle management to managing quality effectively, along with some industry sponsored sessions on automation, informatics and esoteric testing. Of particular note were speakers from GE and Siemens who elaborated on the coming convergence of imaging, informatics, and in vitro diagnostics (IVD), a trend which will have dramatic repercussions on clinicians, patients and diagnostic service providers around the world.
My talk on lab services in India (and its implications on the global testing market) was well received by curious professionals who took a genuine interest in understanding the dynamics of the subcontinent.
