UPS® Healthcare Webinar Explores Innovations Impacting Hospital And Lab Logistics
05 Août 2019 - 3:00PM
Drones and emerging technologies, lab site selection to improve
turnaround times, and improving the clinician/lab tech experience
will be among the topics explored in the UPS (NYSE:UPS) healthcare
webinar “Innovations, drones and the future of specimen logistics,”
taking place on Sept. 18.
Several industry experts will share insights on how innovations
– think drone deliveries of medical samples across hospital
campuses – are shaping up to be industry game-changers. Care
facilities and diagnostic laboratories are being confronted with
mounting cost pressures and a need for faster turnaround times.
This means the demand for greater efficiencies and advanced
logistics will only grow.
“Technology is enabling healthcare to come directly into the
home, and allowing earlier detection of chronic conditions,” says
Chris Cassidy, UPS president of global healthcare logistics
strategy. “Speed of delivery and reliability in the specimen supply
chain must keep pace with these innovations in this drive toward
wellness and patient-centricity.”
Andreas Raptopoulos, CEO of drone manufacturer Matternet, and
Benjamin Moore, senior manager of the Louisville Dept. of Economic
Development, will join UPS executives Mark Taylor and Robin Hooker
in the webinar. They will explore ways to meet growing, complex lab
specimen logistics challenges, such as advances in cell and gene
testing requiring more stringent temperature controls and improved
stability and packaging models.
“Lab specimen transportation is a critical component of the
healthcare logistics ecosystem, says Kevin Warren, UPS chief
marketing officer. “This space is a strategic priority for UPS
because we understand the high level of quality, control, speed and
visibility needed for these sensitive shipments, and with this
webinar we want to keep this important conversation going.”
“Innovations, drones and the future of specimen logistics,”
takes place Sept. 18 from 1-1:45 pm and is free to participate. To
