Healthcare reform legislation will surely boost overall lab testing volumes, as 32
million Americans join the insurance rolls over the next 10 years. The Affordable
Care Act was also studded with immediate and long-term opportunities for labs
performing molecular diagnostic testing. Most notable among them is the
requirement that insurers offer preventive services to consumers as part of the
insurance policy at no additional out-of-pocket charge.

The new edition of Business Strategies for Molecular Diagnostics in the Clinical Laboratory details these and other influences driving the molecular diagnostic market, and
further examines global MDx testing numbers by patient age and five key segments:
Infectious Disease
Blood Screening
Genetic Testing
Cancer
Other
The new 2nd edition also brings you the expert advice of 6 top molecular
diagnostics experts, and covers:
The size, structure and outlook for the molecular diagnostics market
Integrating molecular diagnostics into your lab
Expanding an existing molecular diagnostics program
Selecting and optimizing a molecular diagnostics platform and test menu
Developing a budget and financial priorities for your molecular diagnostics
program
Regulations, pricing and reimbursement
And much more
Business and Financial Strategies for Molecular Diagnostics discusses key factors
to consider when bringing molecular diagnostics in-house or expanding an existing
molecular diagnostics program, including developing a budget and financial priorities
for your molecular diagnostics program, and determining a strategy for selecting and
optimizing a molecular diagnostics platform and test menu that makes financial sense
for each laboratory.
Section 2
Optimizing Your Molecular Test Menu offers insights into best practices for building and developing a menu of molecular diagnostic tests, and creating a test menu
that promises larger volumes and greater clinical utility versus offering a portfolio of
esoteric tests that add prestige and reduce send-out costs. This chapter also identifies
pitfalls to avoid when bringing molecular diagnostics into your laboratory.
Section 3
Section 4
Case Study: Making the Most of Molecular Data at Signature Genomics examines
the molecular diagnostics data glut in the new era of genomic medicine, discusses
how Signature Genomics has built its database of molecular diagnostic data and how
it mines the accumulated data to extract useful information, and provides strategies
for transforming data generated through molecular testing into valuable information
and useful knowledge.

Section 5
Pharmacogenomics in the Clinical Lab outlines the key tests that labs need to know
about and possibly plan on offering in the near future, explores considerations unique
to pharmacogenomicsincluding results reporting, staff expertise, and technology
that labs should keep in mind when considering bringing on these tests, reviews
current regulatory issues affecting this area of testing, and offers an outlook regarding
pharmacogenomic testing in the clinical lab.
Section 6
Genetic Counseling and the Clinical Laboratory provides an overview of how genetic counselors work with clinicians and laboratory professionals to provide information and support to patients and families who have members with genetic disorders and those who may be at risk for inherited conditionsand offers strategies for
integrating genetic counseling into molecular diagnostic testing programs at academic
medical centers, hospital laboratories, and reference laboratories.

I challenge you to
think about your
specific goalwhat you
want to accomplish
in your molecular
diagnostics laboratory
and the steps you are
going to take to get
there. If you are not in
molecular diagnostics
today, get in it. You will
hear about the future of
biomarkers and these
great new generation
technologies, but you
are not going to be
ready unless you are
doing the fundamentals
today, which is
primarily infectious
disease testing that
will pay for the lower
volume but critical
molecular diagnostic
tests coming down the
pipeline.
