Session:
Governing the Data Backbone of the Modern Laboratory: How to Ensure Secure, Compliant, and Validated Patient Data Across the Entire Laboratory Data Lifecycle
Executive War College 2026, April 28-29, 2026 at the New Orleans Hyatt, welcomes
Todd Stabelfeldt, Founder and CEO of C4 Solutions, a recognized authority in computing technology and data management for clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories and hospital environments.
Todd brings decades of experience helping laboratories manage, secure, and validate complex digital records across the full data lifecycle. As an industry leader in laboratory data environments, he also offers a personal perspective. As a quadriplegic, Todd has leveraged technology not only to advance laboratory operations, but to overcome physical limitations and drive innovation.
As Todd explains:
“I have leveraged technology not only as a professional tool, but as a way to overcome physical limitations and drive meaningful innovation. In this presentation, I connect my personal journey with practical, real-world guidance for laboratories navigating increasing demands around data integrity, security, and regulatory compliance.”
In this session, Todd will focus on how disciplined data governance and informed technology decisions can strengthen performance and compliance.
- Demonstrate Regulatory Compliance
Understand how to operationalize HIPAA, CAP, and related requirements through validation, documentation, and internal controls. - Ensure End-to-End Data Integrity
Learn best practices for securing and validating laboratory data from order entry through patient-facing results. - Identify Hidden System Gaps
Recognize overlooked data challenges, including legacy workflows and insurance-related limitations within LIS environments. - Strengthen Vendor and Technology Alignment
Gain strategies for balancing legacy standards such as HL7 with modern security tools while collaborating more effectively with software vendors.
Attendees will leave with both strategic perspective and practical guidance on how thoughtful technology integration, stronger vendor collaboration, and disciplined data management can transform laboratory operations.
This is not just a technical presentation. It is a compelling story of overcoming limitations and applying those lessons to build stronger, more reliable laboratory data systems.
