Lifepoint Informatics
Booth 1045
Interfacing your EMR to unlimited laboratory systems is required to achieve successful patient outcomes. As healthcare gets more complex, doctors need to work with multiple labs to provide the best in patient care. Insurance rules, newer genetic testing, smaller test menus and physician preference are all factors driving this trend. The large national labs (Quest Diagnostics and Labcorp) represent only 23% of the outpatient testing market. Due to insurance rules and physician choice, providers need to access regional reference labs, local pathology groups and community hospital outreach labs. LabHub helps these providers engage with multiple labs while simultaneously eliminating the need for separate results systems from each laboratory.
