      ab: There is a growing mismatch with regard to demand, supply, and affordability in healthcare systems in developed countries. Innovation is required to address this, but roadmaps for innovation in laboratory medicine are largely lacking. Advances in process and instrument digitization are driving a revolution in medical laboratory practice but changes are not strategically focused on improved patient care. Laboratory services therefore largely remain transactional so that customer access and experience are suboptimal, especially for vulnerable populations. Laboratory medicine must be integrated back into clinical care pathways, thereby transforming services to be more responsive to end-user needs. Healthcare trends show that patients, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals will increasingly dictate what and how services are provided. Laboratories will be pressed to restructure to address these healthcare trends. Since the primary goal of ambulatory practice is to prevent expensive hospital admissions for patients with complex chronic diseases, specific services (e.g. ambulatory clinics, surgeries, deliveries, procedures) that could be safely provided in the community are moving out of acute care hospitals. This review addresses the existing barriers to innovation faced by medical/scientific and managerial services as well as outlines a systematic approach used by other industries to bring about transformative change. Enabling disruptive innovation that improves the clinical and economic effectiveness of laboratory practice is critical to sustain clinically relevant services as an essential cornerstone of patient care within the healthcare systems of developed countries.
