Repurposing Outpatient Clinics and Medical Procedure Units as Integrated Diagnostic Centers

I know many of you read Bruce Friedman's excellent blog Lab Soft News, but in case you don't please check out this post: Repurposing Outpatient Clinics and Medical Procedure Units as Integrated Diagnostic Centers:

I have been an advocate of the merger of pathology and radiology into what could be described as the new medical specialty of diagnostic medicine.  This merged specialty can also referred to as integrated diagnostics.  The integration of pathology and radiology is related to the idea of the development of Integrated Diagnostic Centers (IDCs).  These are clinics staffed by multidisciplinary teams and focused on the goal of diagnosing disease faster, better, and less expensively than the norm today.

Fascinating.  I guess if Pathology and Radiology really do merge, then instead of Pathologists and Radiologists we'll have Diagnosticians...
