The Project Santa Fe Foundation, as a thought leadership organization, supports the development of lab initialed-care models to promote the development and implementation of Clinical Lab 2.0 around specific clinical topics. The lab initialed-care models highlight therapeutic issues where laboratory medicine can have a significant role in changing patient outcomes, reducing costs, and supporting population health using longitudinal laboratory data and laboratory driven clinical insights.
Therapeutic topics presented in the lab initialed-care models involve high frequency, high risk, and high-cost health conditions that impact large groups of the population and include both chronic and acute conditions. The lab initialed-care models provide specific guidance for laboratories who wish to become involved in providing therapeutic guidance based on evidence and promote laboratory driven facilitated interventions.
