Abstract
Technology for modern clinical and public health microbiology laboratories has evolved at an impressive rate over the last two decades. Contemporary diagnostics can rapidly provide powerful data that can impact patient lives and support infectious disease outbreak investigations. At the same time, dramatic changes to health care delivery are putting new pressures on a system that is now focusing on patient-centric, value-driven, convenient care. For laboratories, balancing all these demands in a cost-contained environment remains a challenge. This article explores the current and future directions of diagnostics in our dynamic health care environment.
