Lilly: Infographics on Turnaround Time for Cancer Biomarkers

Lilly has a website for improving turnaround time for biomarkers in lung cancer.  Find it here:

https://medical.lilly.com/us/diseases/disease-education-resources/oncology/non-small-cell-lung-cancer/answers/infographic-minimizing-turnaround-time-for-molecular-testing-among-patients-with-nsclc-199474 

The webpage leads to a one-page infographic PDF and also to a one minute video.


For limited samples, consider an additional biopsy pass, and flag usable blocks in the path report.

For delayed ordering, use education and/or reflex or algorithmic testing.

For extended analysis time, consolidate testing.  

For lack of provider integration, consider patient navigaters, improved record-keeping, and enhanced EMR technologies.
