Özet
Background: A survey of IFCC members was conducted to determine current and future perspectives on digital innovations within laboratory medicine and healthcare sectors. Methods: Questions focused on the relevance of digital diagnostic solutions, implementation and barriers to adopting digital technologies, and supplier roles in supporting innovation. Digital diagnostic market segments were defined by solution recipient (laboratory, clinician, patient/consumer, payor) and proximity to core laboratory operations. Results: Digital solutions were of active interest for >90% of respondents. Although solutions to improve core operations were ranked as the most relevant currently, a future shift to technologies beyond core laboratory expertise is expected. A key area of potential differentiation for laboratory customers was clinical decision support. Currently, laboratories collaborate strongly with suppliers of laboratory integration software and information systems, with high expectations for future collaboration in clinical decision support, disease self-management, and population health management. Asia Pacific countries attributed greater importance to adopting digital solutions than those in other regions. Financial burden was the most commonly cited challenge in implementing digital solutions. Conclusions: Specialists in laboratory medicine are proactively approaching digital innovations and transformation, and there is high enthusiasm and expectation for further collaboration with suppliers and healthcare professionals beyond current core laboratory expertise.
