Closing laboratory information gaps to increase point of care clinical insights

Lab values are estimated to fuel 70% of clinical decisions, but accessing patient lab results residing outside an organization’s EHR presents an administrative challenge and burden for clinicians. This presentation explores how a single view of patient lab values, consolidating data from both the EHR and a national unified and standardized lab database at the point of care, can reduce the information gap, helping clinicians more effectively and efficiently manage patients and close care gaps.

Supporting diabetes education and prevention in the state of Virginia: A partnership with the Virginia Department of Health

In a partnership between Labcorp and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to enroll patients with prediabetes in the evidence-based, CDC-backed National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP), Labcorp leveraged its robust lab data to email NDPP education and enrollment information to 156K Virginians meeting this criterion. As a result of the program, the VDH saw a 20-fold increase in enrollment in the NDPP.
