In November 2025, ADLM hosted a point-of-care workshop sponsored by Roche in Santiago, Chile. One attendee shared her perspective on the event.

Interviewer: Tell me where you're from and why you're visiting this ADLM meeting.

Carolina: Thank you very much, Roche. My name is Carolina Prieto.
I am from Dipreca Hospital, and I am also the point-of-care (POC) pilot representative in the active aging program.

I am very motivated by the topic of POC. I am passionate about it and believe it is something that is here to stay and will grow rapidly in a short period of time. Whenever this topic is presented, I like to attend, and I found this event very appealing because it was organized in conjunction with the ADLM.

Bringing speakers from other countries also helps to learn about other realities. It allows us to share with the professionals who attended this event, who come from different areas of Chile — such as the private sector and the public sector — and that also enriches the conversation. So, thank you very much for the invitation.

En noviembre de 2025, ADLM organizó un taller sobre POCT patrociando por Roche en Santiago de Chile. Una de las asistentes compartió su opinión sobre el evento.

Interviewer: Cuéntame de donde viene, y cuál es el motivo de su visita a este meeting de ADLM.

Carolina: Muchas gracias a Roche, mi nombre es Carolina Prieto.
Soy del Hospital Dipreca, y también soy representante encargada de piloto de POC en el programa de envejecimiento activo.

Y el tema de POC a mí me motiva mucho, me apasiona lo encuentro que es algo que esta para quedarse va a crecer muchísimo en poco tiempo de manera muy acelerada. Y siempre que esta este tema presentado me gusta asistir y este evento me pareció muy atractivo porque se organizó en conjunto con la ADLM.

Trajeron speakers de otros países que eso también ayuda a conocer otras realidades. Y también a compartir con los profesionales que asistieron a este evento que son de distintas partes de actividades en Chile – en la parte privada, la parte publica, y eso también enriquece la conversación. Asi que, muchas gracias por la invitacion.

In addition to understanding insurance requirements, laboratory leaders and other healthcare professionals must manage an increasing number of genetic tests, track rapidly changing molecular methodologies and ordering providers, and ensure clinical teams have access to specialist support as needed.

See how these multidisciplinary experts do it.

Laboratory medicine has always produced large volumes of objective patient data. Dr. Patrick Mathias, lead faculty member of our new Data Science in Laboratory Medicine Certificate Program, hopes that labs will be able to leverage this data to identify gaps in patient care, think more holistically about patients, and better support the processes within healthcare systems that are dependent on the laboratory.

Ultimately, laboratory professionals should be in the driver’s seat when it comes to ensuring appropriate lab data usage. Read the full Q&A with Mathias in the January-February issue of Clinical Laboratory News: https://ow.ly/J82l50Y1WU8

Does provoked VTE warrant thrombophilia testing? With only indirect evidence to draw on, experts offer a cautious answer: sometimes.

When the American Society of Hematology (ASH) released its 2023 guidelines for thrombophilia testing in the management of venous thromboembolism (VTE), one recommendation stood out as a significant departure from previous suggestions: For patients with VTE provoked by transient, nonsurgical triggers (such as hospitalization, injury, pregnancy, or combined oral contraceptives) who completed primary short-term anticoagulant treatment, the ASH panel suggested testing for thrombophilia to guide treatment duration.

Because about 15% of the estimated 1 million cases of VTE in the United States are associated with these nonsurgical factors, this guidance could significantly increase test volumes for clinical laboratories by driving testing requests for inherited and acquired thrombophilia, one expert says. https://ow.ly/AkW250Y1mRb

Today we launched our Data Science in Laboratory Medicine Certificate program, designed to help clinical laboratory professionals and pathologists use healthcare data to solve challenging patient problems.

Every year, clinical labs produce billions of test results — a treasure trove of data that holds the key to more personalized testing and treatment, and ultimately, better patient outcomes.

This new program will help laboratory medicine professionals at all stages of their careers to harness the immense value of that data. Through expertly curated real-world examples, participants will learn about core data science concepts and get practical tools to improve testing algorithms, reduce errors, enhance lab operation efficiency, and collaborate with local data analysts.
