A guide to Diagnostics-as-a-Service - Why you need it & how to enable it

Think about the way businesses get their technology. Be it infrastructure, software, data, security, analytics…today, the norm is to buy the service, not the stuff. This ‘as-a-service’ model outsources hassle to third party providers with the capabilities and expertise to do a better job. A better job of building the tech, securing it, innovating it, and integrating it with complementary solutions. Liberated from the complexity and cost of these tasks, the business can focus on what they’re great at. And if their technology partner lets them down somehow, they can easily switch to another service provider. 

With more efficient deployment of their resources comes greater productivity and improved outcomes. This is the prize for organisations that adopt Diagnostics-as-a Service (DaaS). With the right DaaS partner, an organisation can profit from offering a world-class diagnostics experience to their customers and clinical practitioners. By offloading the building blocks to a business that truly understands the intricacies of creating a world class diagnostics operation—the operational, clinical, regulatory, logistical and communication challenges—your organisation gets the end-to-end diagnostic service they need in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost, and at a scale that would not be possible if building it in-house.

The ultimate winners of the new DaaS paradigm are people. With better access to diagnostic data, health practitioners can deliver preventive health interventions and personalised treatment plans. Clinical trials also benefit from decentralised testing that enables more participants without compromising medical and scientific integrity. And health and wellbeing brands will see the commercial opportunity to empower their customers to take control of their health.

DaaS has the potential to revolutionise healthcare. As with anything new, it must be understood before it can be acted on. At Thriva Solutions, we have produced a guide to DaaS. In it we explain the outcomes it can deliver; we dissect its capabilities; and we offer our advice about how to execute DaaS in the most effective way.
