Five ways to move faster without compromising trust in diagnostics
The demand for faster innovation in diagnostics is growing, but speed must be matched by responsibility. In a recent Fierce Healthcare article, Matthew Binnicker, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Mayo Clinic Laboratories, outlines five strategies that enable rapid progress while maintaining the quality and safety patients and clinicians rely on.
“Innovation in diagnostics should always be rooted in delivering high-quality answers for patients facing uncertainty,” says Dr. Binnicker.
The five strategies include:
1.
Let science lead and the needs of patients guide
Staying grounded in rigorous experimentation and patient-centered decision-making.
2.
Be disciplined with data
Using AI and analytics carefully to avoid bias and ensure objectivity.
3.
Collaborate with others
Engaging stakeholders and building networks to accelerate development.
4.
Complete work in parallel, where possible
Identifying opportunities to streamline processes without introducing risk.
5.
Bolster regulatory readiness
Preparing early and applying lessons learned to navigate requirements efficiently.
These principles show that innovation doesn’t have to sacrifice trust. By embedding them into development strategies, diagnostics teams can deliver meaningful advancements faster, without compromising what matters most. Read the full article.
