The Challenge

FUNDING REMAINS CONSTRAINED

Healthcare organisations continue to be challenged with escalating costs and decreased funding, which make it even more difficult to deliver quality services to a broad patient population. In order to control costs while maintaining a high quality of care, providers are looking to:

  • Generate efficiency gains
  • Eliminate waste
  • Optimize processes
  • Drive the appropriate utilization of resources

The Solution

 

New approaches to shaping care

Integrating advanced diagnostic solutions into the patient-care pathway is helping many health care organisations control the total cost of delivering care. With-patient testing:

  • Accelerates decision making
  • Optimises patient-care pathways
  • Reduces the indirect costs related to care
  • Improves resource utilisation
  • Streamlines the testing process
