    Your Lab’s Data Is Valuable. Can You Actually Use It?

    Before you build an AI strategy around your lab’s data, read the contracts. Generating the data does not automatically give you every right to use it. And “we have a business associate agreement” does not settle the question. Bradley Bostic joins McDonald Hopkins attorneys Emily Johnson, Christal Contini, and Elizabeth “Liz” Sullivan for a candid conversation about the decisions that can create—or compromise—a lab’s long-term value. Recorded at Executive War College in New Orleans, this episode connects data rights, reimbursement pressure, and lab acquisitions to the questions healthcare leaders need to ask before committing. THREE TAKEAWAYS: • Understand your data rights before building the business case. The guests explain why contractual permissions around de-identification, aggregation, and reuse deserve closer attention. • Examine the billing model behind the innovation. Digital pathology and genetic testing expose the gap between what technology makes possible and what reimbursement rules support. • Know what you are giving up before selling the lab. Outreach revenue, strategic flexibility, and restrictions on reentering the market all belong in the decision—not just the purchase price. Plus: why “other labs are doing it” is a poor defense, and how yesterday’s compliance decisions can become tomorrow’s acquisition problems. What is the most overlooked asset in a health system’s lab—and does leadership understand its value? Watch the conversation and share your perspective below.

    Why Healthcare's Front Door is Broken (And How to Fix It)

    Healthcare's front door is broken - here's who's fixing it. You will hear why virtual care fails without labs, why 52 diagnostics is the flywheel for access, and how a $2,000 primary care voucher could fix the front door for 600 patients at a time. This is for healthcare leaders, hospital executives, and innovators who want practical fixes, not hype. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN: Why virtual care without completed labs is just Zoom - 70% in-clinic vs ~30% virtual completion Why diagnostics drives 70% of clinical decisions on ~7% of spend, and how that blocks innovation How white-label lab rails, self-collected testing, and at-home phlebotomy remove friction How primary care became a referral engine, and the math behind a concierge-for-all voucher model Where 52 ai in healthcare actually fits - agents and navigation only work with working diagnostic rails FEATURED CONVERSATIONS IN THIS HIGHLIGHT: Why AI alone will not fix care with Maitham Dib, founder of Junction How Junction uses data from ~3.4M lab tests to route patients across PSC visits, at-home kits, and at-home phlebotomy. Full episode: Why Every AI Healthcare Company is Missing The front door nobody talks about with James York, Molecular Testing Labs Why lab-based at-home testing protects data integrity, what removing friction from HIV/STI and PrEP unlocked, and the push to routine testing for chronic disease and wellness. Full episode: The Front Door Nobody's Talking About in Healthcare The $2,000 fix with Matthew Holt, The Health Care Blog A blunt diagnosis of nonprofit incentives and leakage, plus a numbers-driven voucher model to make primary care high-status again. Full episode: A $2,000 Voucher and 600 Patients: The Math Behind Fixing Care CHAPTERS FOR THIS HIGHLIGHT: 00:00 The HLTH problem - the front door is broken 01:30 Virtual care without labs is just Zoom 06:30 Diagnostics as the flywheel for activation 12:00 From stigma to scale - at-home testing that reports 15:30 A $2,000 voucher and 600 patients - fixing primary care math

    If AI Gets the Diagnosis Wrong, Who Is to Blame?

    Clinicians should have a voice in healthcare AI long before they are asked to use it. Dr. Jay Anders makes that point in his Boombostic Health conversation with Marcus Gordon. He calls for more clinical input into what these systems do and which problems they solve. We should be asking clinicians where work breaks down, what information they need, and what would give them more time with patients. Their answers should shape the product and how we measure its value. But how much say do clinicians actually have? Are they involved early enough to influence what gets built, or brought in after the major decisions have been made? I'd like to hear from clinicians and the teams building these tools: When does clinical input enter your process, and what has changed because of it?

    The Reality of Clinical AI: Trust, Security, and Adoption

    SHOW NOTES Most healthcare technology targets patients after they become seriously ill. Rick Goddard believes agentic AI could create an even larger opportunity: helping primary care teams engage healthy and rising risk patients before their conditions escalate.  Recorded live at ViVE, Boombostic Health host Marcus Gordon sits down with Rick, SVP of Market Alliances at Lumeris, to explore how agentic AI could extend the reach of primary care physicians, strengthen prevention and help accelerate the shift toward value based care. Rick introduces Tom, Lumeris' primary care agentic orchestration platform. Designed as a direct extension of the physician and care team, Tom can engage patients between visits, gather information that may otherwise be missed and help connect fragmented healthcare data. The conversation also examines the trust, security and change management required to move clinical AI from promising technology to meaningful adoption. In this episode: • Why the primary care physician must remain at the center of AI enabled care • How Tom extends the physician's reach between patient visits • Why physician and patient trust will determine clinical AI adoption • How agentic AI could make prevention possible at a much larger scale • Why Lumeris selected Google Cloud to support its AI infrastructure • What healthcare startups can learn from Lumeris' 20 year evolution • How agentic AI could change the economics of value based care  CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome from ViVE 01:08 The evolution of Lumeris 03:35 Introducing Tom 04:50 Keeping primary care at the center 05:58 The realities of clinical AI adoption 08:22 Extending care beyond the physician visit 09:31 Security, data and Google Cloud 10:32 Lessons for healthcare innovators 12:05 Scaling prevention with agentic AI 14:02 A potential economic shift in healthcare  FEATURED GUEST Rick Goddard SVP of Market Alliances at Lumeris Subscribe to Boombostic Health for conversations with the leaders shaping diagnostics, AI and the future of healthcare.  #AgenticAI #PrimaryCare #HealthcareInnovation

    Why AI Won't Replace Your Doctor (But It Will Change How They Work)

    More people need chronic care. Fewer providers are available to deliver it. The math does not work unless care moves beyond the clinic. Can AI-powered remote care help close the gap without sacrificing safety or human judgment? Live from ViVE, Marcus Gordon sits down with Oren Nissim, CEO and Co-Founder of Brook Health, to examine how technology and human care teams can extend chronic disease management into the home. From hypertension and diabetes to heart failure and complex kidney conditions, Oren explains how Brook uses AI to support monitoring, patient engagement, recommendations, and follow-up between visits. But the technology is only one part of the solution. Scaling remote care will require responsible AI guardrails, sustainable reimbursement, secure data exchange, provider participation, and evidence that these models produce meaningful results. They discuss: • Why an aging population and shrinking provider workforce are creating an urgent access challenge • How remote care can extend the reach of providers serving Medicare patients • Where AI can support monitoring, engagement, and evolving care plans • Why clinical interventions require stronger safeguards than general wellness tools • How reimbursement and policy could accelerate care at home • Why security, compliance, and interoperability remain essential • Why healthcare AI companies must show results, not simply promote use cases The central takeaway: AI will not replace the people delivering chronic care. It can extend their reach, but only when innovation is paired with human oversight, sustainable payment, strong safeguards, and measurable outcomes.

    A Lab's Most Valuable Product Isn't the Test. It's the Data.

    A laboratory receives a specimen. What it produces is data. That data can expose risk, guide treatment, and give patients greater control over their health. But its value depends on whether it can be connected, understood, and acted on at the right moment. Live from ViVE 2026, Boombostic Health host Bradley Bostic sits down with Merve Ozkus, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of BioReference Health, for a candid conversation about the changing role of the diagnostic laboratory. Merve explains how BioReference Health is sharpening its strategic focus while building a more patient-centered technology foundation. She shares why meaningful interoperability requires more than moving information between systems, how consumer-directed testing is changing the relationship between patients and diagnostics, and where artificial intelligence can create real value today. This is not a conversation about AI replacing clinical judgment. It is about using technology to strengthen the people, processes, and data behind better decisions. Bradley and Merve discuss: • Why data is the laboratory's true product • BioReference Health's strategic evolution and market focus • What patient-centered interoperability should actually accomplish • Why patients are becoming more active advocates for their health • The growing demand for consumer testing and functional medicine • How BioReference Health is approaching AI responsibly • Where AI can improve operations without removing human oversight • Why AI education must become as fundamental as cybersecurity training • How technology can help an overstretched healthcare workforce serve patients more effectively The next era of diagnostics will not be defined only by how many tests a laboratory can run. It will be defined by how intelligently healthcare can connect and activate what those tests reveal. CHAPTERS 00:00 Meet BioReference Health CIO Merve Ozkus 01:08 BioReference Health's strategic evolution 02:19 Why the laboratory's real product is data 04:13 The rise of the empowered patient 05:17 Finding signals beyond a single test result 08:33 Meeting patients where they are 10:06 Consumer testing and functional medicine 11:03 Building a secure, patient-centered foundation 11:41 Taking a disciplined approach to AI 12:46 AI as an accelerant, not a replacement 14:56 Why AI literacy is now essential 16:08 Moving from innovation talk to execution Subscribe to Boombostic Health for candid conversations with the leaders shaping the future of diagnostics, technology, and patient care. #Diagnostics #LabData #HealthcareAI #Interoperability #PatientCare #ViVE2026
