Abstract:  Healthcare and clinical research are complex ecosystems. Keeping patients and providers at the center of design and innovation is essential to improving patient care. We have a call to action to leverage advanced technology to improve patient health, engage providers with better, faster information, and enhance operational efficiencies within the healthcare continuum. Lessons learned from the recent pandemic will have a permanent, meaningful impact on patients and providers. Chris Stanley, Vice President of Clinical and Digital Solutions at Labcorp, will discuss how Labcorp uses our digital portfolio to advance health and empower our customers to make confident healthcare decisions
