Research Reports

Now, begin your strategic planning for 2008 with an in-depth look at the current state of anatomic pathology testing across the country.

While test volumes in 2007 are expected to increase in fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) testing and PCR-based testing, Medicare reimbursements for most commonly billed anatomic pathology procedures fell in 2007 as compared to 2006.

Will your testing volumes increase enough in 2007 to offset the loss of income associated with declining reimbursements? If not, then what does 2008 hold for you?

This new research report, based on nearly 200 exclusive survey responses and featuring presentations from scores of pathologists and interviews with lab industry executives, consultants and government executives, is designed to be your essential guide to successful planning and management of an anatomic pathology lab in 2008.

With it, you’ll make better, more effective decisions about running your business in 2008, thanks to the detailed responses of nearly 200 pathologists to Washington G-2 Reports’ recent study of the national market for anatomic pathology services.

Briefly, the report covers the detailed results of Washington G-2 Reports’ Anatomic Pathology Market Strategies Outlook Survey 2007, from the distribution of test types and practice characteristics to the anticipated changes in test volumes from 2006 to 2007…the effects of national pathology firms on local practices to top competitors… plans to use new technologies in 2007 to the integration of reports into the electronic health records… and much, much more.
