October 9, 2023- Froedtert Health, Wisconsin Diagnostic Laboratories (WDL) and HealthEco announced the launch of Atalan, a technology-enabled clinical partnership providing doctors and medical centers unprecedented access to a vetted network of the nation’s foremost clinical laboratories.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 70% of today’s medical decisions depend on laboratory test results and 14 billion laboratory tests are ordered each year. Yet many patients, particularly those in rural areas, experience barriers to critical laboratory services, limiting their ability to receive the care they need.
With the Atalan network, academic medical centers, community hospitals and health systems have access to continuity of care, novel diagnostics and best-in-class expertise without interruptions to current laboratory operations—all through a single streamlined comprehensive platform.
Atalan’s growing list of laboratory partners are strategically vetted and selected to add to the cumulative strength of the network. By recruiting and partnering with best-in-class health system labs that can scale and provide expertise, the company aims to be a catalyst for growth and sustainability.
