Welcome to the Revolution
“A reform is a correction of abuses; a revolution is a transfer of power.”
British novelist and politician Edward Bulwer-Lytton
made this valuable distinction more than 150 years
ago, but it is worth remembering today, as a cascade
of reforms sweeps the American health care industry
with the tricky two-part goal of improving health while
reducing costs.
The Revolution needs you.

offers at LabRevolution.com and join the
#LabRevolution conversation on Twitter!
Achieving broad access to high-quality, affordable care, however, is not simply a matter of expanding insurance
coverage or slashing prices; it requires a fundamental shift away from the longstanding fee-for-service system to
one that it is driven by value. Along this long road, power is being transferred, and diagnostic medicine has unique
opportunities to claim its rightful share.
These are the seeds of a LAB REVOLUTION.
Clinical laboratories and pathologists are in prime position to assert their significant and expanding role throughout
the continuum of health care, but success is anything but assured. Industry heavyweights and emerging
players alike are taking notice of the new market openings created by reform initiatives such as accountable care
organizations at a time when the “consumer” or “end-user” of diagnostic information is expanding to include not only
clinicians but also increasingly engaged patients.
G2 Intelligence is proud to present LAB REVOLUTION.
Join us March 11-14 in Orlando for an all-new conference that will spotlight bold initiatives along with data-driven,
practical solutions, and feature innovators that are positioning their organizations for success — and profitability —
in the long term.
