Accumen CEO Joins Executive War College Faculty Today to Discuss COVID-19 Challenges and the Future of the Clinical Laboratory
Phoenix, AZ, Aug. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today at 1PM ET, Accumen’s CEO, BG Porter, is slated to take the virtual stage at the Executive War College to discuss Strategic Directions for Healthcare and Health Insurers: What's Coming Next, How Care Delivery is Changing, and New Opportunities for Clinical Labs to Add Value.
The 2020 Executive War College conference brings together the nation’s medical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups to address the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically tackling the current need for more testing when capacity has been added but acute shortages of essential test kits and supplies are still impacting capabilities.
“I am honored to join Robert Michel, Editor-in-Chief of the Dark Report, and other members of the esteemed faculty he has assembled to speak at this year’s virtual conference. The Executive War College continues to be a staple in the laboratory community, bringing together the most strategic minds in the industry to thoroughly engage in analyses of current issues and problem-solving discussions. This year’s conference is no exception and I look forward to joining the conversations today,” said BG Porter, Accumen CEO.
Currently, there are more than 400 registrants for this year’s Virtual Executive War College participating in an innovative 10-week format, allowing those on the frontlines the opportunity to participate without taking a large block of time away from the lab. All sessions are available on demand for registrants as well. Interested parties can still register at https://www.executivewarcollege.com.
