Access to laboratory testing is often assumed, but in reality?It’s more complicated than a STAT order during a staffing shortage.In this episode of SUPERSTAT, we dive into the intersection of access and diagnostic medicine — and explore why “available testing” doesn’t always translate into accessible care. From underfunded labs and administrative red tape, we break down:
✅ Who gets timely lab services — and who doesn’t
✅ How infrastructure, location, and policy impact diagnostics
✅ Why the lab bench matters in every access conversation
Because access isn’t just about proximity — it’s about power, process, and people. #podcast #medicine #hospital #laboratory #values #greenscreen #access #equity
