Emerging Labs in Healthcare

Labs are Emerging – How Come?

Diagnostic and medical laboratories:

• Are vital to the healthcare sector providing healthcare practitioners with information concerning the onset, severity and cause of patients' ailments and illnesses.

• The aging population and the movement toward preventive care have stimulated demand for industry services. For example, as more elderly patients received preventive screening tests, many required laboratory services to address irregular screening results.

Emerging Labs – How come?

• Demand for diagnostic and medical laboratory services is mainly influenced by scientific advancements, which are yielding new and improved service capabilities; an aging population, which increases demand for laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging services; the extent to which physicians and their patients appreciate the value that these services bring to health and wellness; and the cost of services, which can be influenced by government program reimbursement.

• The primary growth drivers for the Global Clinical Laboratory Services Market are growing number of cancer, diabetes, tuberculosis, and other such dangerous incidences and infections. As the patients have only grown in the recent years, the market for clinical services has also grown and is expected expand further. Analysts predict, the geriatric population in U.S. is expected to grow by 20% in 2030. With such a huge leap, U.S. alone is expected to contribute greatly to the global clinical laboratory services market.

What’s the Market?

• Specialized & General Lab space inside Hospitals & Clinics

What’s the Market?

• The Commercial Market growing in response to need. .

• The commercial medical and diagnostic laboratory industry in the US consists of about 14,000 establishments (single-location companies and units of multi-location companies) with combined annual revenue of about $48 billion. Medical labs account for about 60 percent of industry revenue; imaging centers account for 40 percent.

Who’s the Commercial Players?

•Major companies include (US Based):• Alliance HealthCare Services• LabCorp• Quest Diagnostics• RadNet

• The top four players (US) accounted for an estimated 28.7% of industry revenue in 2015. However, market leaders Quest Diagnostics and Laboratory Corp of America generate about 26.1% of total industry revenue.

Trends in Labs. . .CLUSTERING

• Companies are increasingly moving into clusters located in urban environments near universities, hospitals and related science and technology companies.

• Helps attract and retain the best and brightest recruits, as the new generation of scientists and researchers want to work and play in stimulating environments populated by thought leaders.

• Clustering also creates the opportunity for interaction with other centers of thinking; offers access to interdisciplinary collaboration plus more diversity and quantity of data; and facilitates the goals of translational medicine.

CLUSTERING. . .Impact on Space. . .

• Real estate costs go up.

• Companies must use their lab space more efficiently.

• The idea that every person has a designated desk or lab bench seat is changing. This also is true of academic lab settings.

• Flexible Labs:

• At the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, the current lab space represents a 50/50 ratio of wet to dry space, with “flex” lab space in between the wet modules to allow for growth of either the wet or dry programs as needed.

• Collaboration spaces are essential in today’s labs. Small discussion/conference areas are placed in immediate proximity to lab areas, creating ease of motion from one zone to another, thereby fostering spontaneous collaboration.

• Writing surfaces are important within these spaces, and interior glass windows often function as writing surfaces. (GE Moveable Walls?) There is also a trend away from programmed “huddle spaces” along corridors and toward more general-purpose amenities like coffee bars.
