Clinical pathology plays a vital role in everyone's health
Used from birth and throughout life to prevent, detect, diagnose, refer, monitor and manage disease, it is considered as a key pillar of medical practice: in 70% of non-hospital and 80% of hospital cases, physicians have their diagnoses and therapeutic decisions rely on medical tests. Today, its role is considered essential in the patient care pathway, in health developments and for the sustainability of the health system.
Clinical pathology, a source of innovation for medical progress
In just a few decades, clinical pathology has taken advantage of new technologies and artificial intelligence to allow new medical applications like mass spectrometry, and to process and control thousands of data sets with ever greater precision. It has thus contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge, advanced our ability to detect and treat diseases, and supported the evolution of medical practices.
Towards more prevention
At Cerba HealthCare, we are convinced that clinical pathology can act further upstream, and support health systems towards more prevention: better assessing the risk of disease development, detecting and diagnosing pathologies earlier and optimising the effectiveness of treatments by personalising them.
