Healthcare Executives Gather at The Diagnostics Conference
PORTLAND, Ore.-(Business Wire)-September 28, 2009 - Tomorrow, a group of thought leaders from healthcare organizations will assemble at DXcon09west - the Diagnostics Conference to learn and share best practices related to the challenges and opportunities of launching a diagnostic test in the US marketplace. The conference, sponsored by Premier Source Diagnostics, a Portland, OR-based provider of consulting and reimbursement services, will equip these companies with financial management strategies, operational and marketing programs and give updates on key financial, legal and regulatory issues in the diagnostics industry. The conference runs September 29-30, 2009 at the Hotel Palomar in San Francisco, CA.
The conference highlights a growing trend in diagnostic healthcare or “personalized medicine,” in which patients are evaluated and treated based upon individual genomic characteristics that may then be used in the development of personalized therapies. While the potential market for diagnostic medicine and personalized therapies is significant, diagnostic companies must navigate within a complex and dynamic commercial, operational and regulatory framework. “Going to market with a new diagnostic test can be particularly difficult,” says Sinead Foley, CEO of Premier Source Diagnostics. “With our deep industry expertise in personalized medicine, we are ideally suited to help clients address their logistical and reimbursement challenges so they can accelerate profitability and ensure long-term success.”
Premier Source Diagnostics and other sponsors, as well as speakers from healthcare companies, law firms and life science venture capital companies will lend advice, expertise, operational knowledge and product planning frameworks to attendees. Conference organizers expect executives, medical directors, reimbursement directors, as well as sales and marketing executives from diagnostic companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers with a strategic investment in the diagnostic channel to attend. The Diagnostics Conference agenda will employ a multi-stakeholder format and will include topics such as:
- Specimen logistical opportunities
- Sales and marketing considerations
- Regulatory and legislative updates
- Medicare (CMS) decision factors and coverage determinants
- Venture capital market updates
- Optimal reimbursement and billing solutions for test launch success
