The Rise of Retail Healthcare: Unlocking better care, expanded access, and improved community outcomes.

Available on-demand
60 Minutes

At-home diagnostic testing, also known as remote lab testing, has grown from an emerging trend to a highly accessible health product category. With the recent leap in consumer acceptance and utilization of home diagnostics, retail pharmacies, payers, and providers, are quickly seeing the benefits of remote lab testing, with the top benefit being Access. Remote health testing exponentially expands patient access to healthcare including retail gaps in care programs, pharmacy testing programs, proactive treatments, and approved condition management programs.

Increasing access to healthcare through health testing shows promise to greatly improve disease management, decrease health disparities, and ultimately lower overall healthcare costs. 

In this webinar our panel will discuss and take your questions on:

  • Current trends and the role that remote diagnostic testing and technology can play in reshaping how care is delivered now and in the future.
  • Emerging programs between retailers and payors on innovative new ways patients access care and manage chronic conditions.
  • Strategies for reaching traditionally hard-to-reach members through local retailers and remote lab testing. 
  • Cases and lessons learned in this new frontier.
