EWC2025 Recap 3: Opportunities for Labs in Urgent Care Networks in the Clinical Lab 2.0 Era
At Executive War College 2025, the theme of Clinical Lab 2.0 called for laboratories to expand beyond the traditional business model and consider new care models. As healthcare pivots toward value-based, patient-centric delivery, labs are uniquely positioned to collaborate with urgent care centers and freestanding emergency departments, bringing diagnostics closer to patients while driving new revenue streams.
EWC2025 Recap 2: How Interoperability and Cloud Platforms Are Powering Clinical Lab 2.0
The clear narrative at EWC this year is that labs that have implemented integrated systems are better positioned to take on the Clinical Lab 2.0 model and deliver greater value. The shift toward consolidated and cloud-based IT platforms with robust interoperability enables labs to eliminate paper-based workflows, enhance productivity, and play a central role in expanding and delivering better patient outcomes. Here, we recap three sessions from EWC 2025 that showcased how leading labs and technology partners are turning this vision into reality.
EWC2025 Recap 1: Laying the Foundation for Lab 2.0: the Direct-to-Consumer Opportunity
As labs look to expand in non-traditional diagnostics markets, one growing trend is Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) lab testing. At Executive War College 2025, Patrick Schaffer, Chief Business Officer at Lifepoint Informatics and Dave Pellegore Director of IT at MaineHealth/NorDx presented what, at first glance, appears to be an overnight success story in launching their DTC program. But behind the scenes, it was a calculated, multi-year journey that could offer a blueprint for how regional labs can enter the DTC market and thrive.
