10:30am – 12noon: Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Clinical Lab 2.0
As we are transitioning from the business of volume to the business of value informatics, amplifying data into actionable insights near-real time becomes key essential strategy.
How will artificial intelligence (AI) be integrated into digital and computational pathology while transitioning from lab 1.0 to lab 2.0? How will laboratory diagnostic paradigms be changed and supported by AI to assess and take actions on clinical risks? How will technology help create longitudinal views of populations real-time and help risk stratify progression for diseases? How will AI help to close gaps in care? How will laboratories develop the skills needed to incorporate AI into their operational and diagnostic processes? How will we maximize the benefits and minimize the risks in AI adoption? This panel of experts will help us frame the discussion and elaborate on pathways to move the laboratory industry and pathology practices forward.

2:45 – 3:45pm: Targeted Intervention: Indian Health Services - Lessons Learned on a Shoestring Budget
Delivering an effective Clinical Lab 2.0 targeted intervention requires meaningful data, provider and patient engagement, and a structured focus. Clinical interventions supporting value-based care are often challenging and unsuccessful in changing healthcare processes and outcomes. This session will discuss lessons learned in the Implementation of a targeted intervention around chronic kidney disease in the Indian Health Service. The discussion will touch on the importance of a structured intervention using social determinants of health to increase monitoring and improve cardiovascular outcomes.

4:00 – 5:15pm: Infrastructure: Disruption Management:
To Disrupt or to be Disrupted – Status Quo is not an Option
Hospital laboratorians, as disruptors following the CL2.0 roadmap, like hospital pharmacists can play a pivotal role on patient care teams - we'll explore approaches for securing institutional support and for successfully managing the transformation.
From Ideas to Implementation: The Journey to Being a Clinical Lab 2.0
In healthcare's shift towards better care with cost management, multi-stakeholder buy-in, teamwork and diagnostic decision support is key to an system's successful implementation of the CL2.0 innovation.

8:00 – 8:30am: KEYNOTE: Whole Person Index in Action- Clinical Lab 2.0 leads mitigation of clinical and financial risk, resulting in better health at a lower cost- for ALL!
Health is driven by 4 factors: clinical 10%, social 20%, genetic 30% and behavior 40%. Over 80% of spend in America is on clinical factors, creating the current state of declining health outcomes at increasing expense. CL2.0 positions lab to lead this mitigation of clinic and financial risk, providing the data and engagement for individuals, populations and communities. We will share case studies and practical actions to support the lab pivot from 1.0 to 2.0.

8:30 – 9:45am: Clinical Lab 2.0 Business Model: Clinical Lab 2.0 Alignment to Value-Based Care, Impact of Information
As health care moves from volume to value, managing clinical risk proactively becomes paramount. Doing so requires being able to predict, monitor for, and mitigate against risk. Lab’s emerging role is to highlight actionable information for the clinical enterprise to ‘right size initiatives in clinical risk management for its population’. That is Lab 2.0. This panel will address the following questions:
- Has the business model of the clinical lab reached a strategic inflection point?
- What is our business? What should be our business?
- Who is the customer? Who should be the customer?
- How should payment incentives align with enterprise Objectives and Key Results (OKR), and how does the Lab have access to those incentives?
- Who are the key partners for Lab’s success?
