“Growing Demand for Point-of-Care Testing”
The clinical laboratory services market is experiencing significant growth due to the rise of telehealth services. Telehealth facilitates remote consultations, allowing patients to receive lab test orders and results without visiting healthcare facilities. This trend gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic, where accessibility and convenience became crucial. For instance, LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics expanded their telehealth platforms, enabling patients to order tests online and receive results via digital communication. This integration of telehealth not only improves patient engagement but also enhances laboratory efficiency by streamlining sample collection and processing. As telehealth continues to evolve, its impact on clinical laboratory services is probably to increase.
