AACC 2013 Booth Presentation: A Hippocratic Oath for the Diagnostics Industry
The United States biomedical industry has lost its way. Profits at many companies take priority over the patient, and expensive proprietary tests are being marketed despite lack of clinical evidence and the existence of more cost-effective alternatives. This presentation will describe ways that hospitals and laboratories can hold their suppliers accountable to scientific and medical values.
Originally presented on July 30, 2013, in Houson, Texas.
