Building upon six years of insights from the global UNIVANTS of Healthcare Excellence program, Unifying for Something Greater: How laboratory medicine is driving and enabling healthcare transformation explores how laboratory medicine can transform healthcare delivery into measurably better outcomes for patient, payors, clinicians and entire health systems.

With contributions across six award cycles and 96 documented best practices from five continents, this edited volume examines how clinical laboratories in diverse settings have redefined governance, operations, and organizational models to meet the demands of value-based care. Using real-life examples, the book connects measurable outcomes—improved patient health, enhanced clinician confidence, sustainable cost models—through best practices that span broader trends such as co-creation of care, clinical service lines, and task shifting. From cardiovascular risk detection in primary care to implementation of novel biomarkers, the examples offer actionable lessons for laboratory leaders, hospital executives, and health system managers seeking to navigate the “new normal” of healthcare.

An invaluable addition to the European Health Management in Transition book series, this volume is an essential read for anyone committed to advancing predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine through the transformative power of laboratory services.
