1. Point of Care Testing and At-Home Diagnostics: Digital technology allows for rapid testing
near patients, including at-home solutions. This simplifies testing procedures and provides
secure digital storage of results accessible to healthcare providers.
2. Predictive and Personal Genetics: Predictive genetic tests can help identify future disease
risks, allowing for early intervention and preventive measures.
4. Clinical Decision Support Solutions: Clinical decision support tools help healthcare
providers interpret test results and suggest next steps for treatment, enhancing patient care.
5. Data-Driven Lab Optimization: Diagnostic labs can optimize their operations by analyzing
test result data using business intelligence and analytics IT systems, leading to more efficient
testing processes.

5. Challenges with CDS Tools: Challenges related to the validity and utility of diagnostic
decision support tools still exist. Overreliance on decision support can reduce independent
clinician judgment and critical thinking. Issues related to the presentation and accuracy of
information in decision support systems also need to be addressed.
8. Economic Incentives and Information Blocking: Economic incentives can create barriers
to achieving interoperability, and information blocking practices, where entities knowingly hinder
the exchange of electronic health information, can be a problem. This can include charging high
fees for data exchange or discouraging participation in health information exchanges.
9. Data Security and Privacy: As interoperability and data exchange increase, data security
and privacy issues become more critical. Balancing the need for data security with the need for
data availability and transparency will be a challenge.
