In this episode of Diasorin’s Beyond the Result podcast, host Angelo Rago explores how diagnostic stewardship can become a cornerstone of value-based healthcare with Scott Wallace, a global leader in patient-centered outcomes measurement.Highlights include:• Why diagnostics are often treated as a transactional step—and how reframing them as a strategic driver can reduce variation, improve safety, and lower costs.• The concept of “right test, right patient, right time” and why it’s essential for achieving measurable outcomes in conditions like sepsis, cancer, and respiratory illness.• How international health systems are linking diagnostics to value-based payment models and accountability frameworks.• What cultural, structural, and data integration changes are needed to make diagnostic stewardship actionable and sustainable.Credits:Host – Angelo Rago, President of Luminex division of Diasorin Guest – Scott Wallace, J.D., MBA, CEO of the Health Value Academy and Associate Professor at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin Director - Stephanie Ibbotson, Sr. Director of Strategic Marketing and Market AccessProducers – Michelle Tabb, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer and Laura Abelkis, Sr. Planning Manager, Strategic MarketingEditors – Britta Good, Graphic Designer, Global Marketing and Molly Frazier, Brand and Content Marketing ManagerLearn about our diagnostics portfolio on our website: https://us.diasorin.com/en/molecular-diagnostics?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=YT-description&utm_campaign=Podcast&utm_id=Corporate&utm_term=Ep7 For more information on value-based care, check out Scott Wallace's Value Base Healthcare Professional Program.
