About the Diagnostics Media Forum

As healthcare systems shift to a more patient-centric model, what does it really mean to put patients at the heart of care?

Imagine a world where an individual’s specific needs and desired health outcomes are the driving force behind all healthcare decisions. Where care transforms from the existing episodic and need-based approach to a proactive, intuitive and personalised experience. Where the patient is no longer the end receiver but an equal partner in shared decision-making.

Join us as we bring experts from Asia Pacific to discuss what our healthcare professionals need in order to truly engage with patients effectively.

Today, patient experience is built into qualitative feedback assessments at many health institutions, but patient engagement is frequently overlooked.

In this panel, speakers will discuss how health systems in APAC can adopt an effective patient-centered approach by overcoming the Patient Engagement Deficit.

While the role of labs has gained prominence during the pandemic, systemic challenges continue to perpetuate the lack of broad public interest in preventative care.

As health system professionals continue to grapple with rising costs and increasing patient burden amidst an ageing population, this panel will discuss how labs can emerge as the key to becoming a foundational element of patient-centric care.
