The Lewin Group was commissioned by The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) to examine certain key aspects of the US diagnostics industry. This document is intended to: a) educate and inform various audiences about diagnostics and the industry that develops them; b) describe the value of diagnostics through the health care continuum and the broader health system; c) describe the technology evolution in diagnostics and potential of these technologies to alter clinical practice; d) identify and describe the hurdles to product development and dissemination; e) identify changes necessary to overcome these challenges; and f) define actionable recommendations for enabling clinicians, patients, provider institutions, payers and other stakeholders to better realize the value and potential of diagnostics to improve health care delivery, individual health and the public’s health.

"Throughout the engagement, Lewin consultants listened to us and delivered superb analyses and thoughtful guidance–not canned solutions."  NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM
