CSP Annual Meeting – December 2013
We must continue to push the envelope
as we think and work “Beyond the Lab.”
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH +
• Our health care system is moving to a new model that
maximizes efficiency, with changes to delivery and
reimbursement approaches.

• Doing the right thing for patients will always be what is
most important, requiring the right diagnostic insights
• That depends on our laboratories and laboratorians

• We must lead when it comes to diagnostic services
• Advance patient-centered care
• Improve overall healthcare quality
• Reduce unnecessary utilization

• And we will be regarded (and rewarded) as much for
what we don’t do as what we do actually do
