NEWS

Executive War College is the premier annual conference for clinical diagnostics industry leaders. This year’s event brought together 1054 attendees in New Orleans to meet and strategize over the latest events and trends. This is part 2 of Dendi’s recap of the event, which contains summaries of select sessions and workshops from EWC 2024’s 2-day agenda.

A major highlight was the FDA’s announcement of the final rule on laboratory-developed tests (LDTs), which generated significant buzz as attendees checked in on April 29. Additionally, the conference featured numerous sessions addressing new updates from the ever-evolving healthcare billing landscape, including new requirements for Z-Codes for genetic tests, innovative strategies for capturing appropriate reimbursements like integrated lab networks, and novel revenue cycle management solutions.

Artificial intelligence in clinical applications was the hottest topic this year which received its own dedicated post: EWC2024 Recap Part 1: All Eyes on Clinical A.I.

May 2024 – The annual 2024 Executive War College (EWC) conference on diagnostics, clinical laboratory, and pathology management commenced in “The Big Easy” bringing together 1,034 lab professionals – breaking the previous record of 953 attendees. In addition to being a fantastic networking event, EWC also assembles a schedule full of insightful seminars and workshops led by various diagnostics industry leaders. This would mark Dendi’s fourth appearance at EWC – this year as a proud sponsor. We convened with various lab professionals including our strategic partners, long-time customers, and many newly made acquaintances to connect and share ideas about how to advance diagnostics together. If you missed out, this recap can help you get caught up until the next year. We’ll highlight the trending topics from EWC and share some of our insights. The recap is partitioned into two parts: the current part covering AI-related topics and part 2 covering the latest updates to the regulatory environment and billing challenges (to be posted on our website).
