Becoming Ceo

Andy Fish is the executive director of AdvaMedDx, an organization that advocates for the power of medical diagnostic tests to promote wellness, improve patient outcomes, and advance public health in the United States and abroad. His advocacy organization represents over 75 member companies that produce innovative diagnostic tests performed in laboratories, at the hospital bedside, in doctor’s offices, in medical clinics, and in the home. These tests facilitate evidence-based medicine, improve quality of care, promote wellness, and enable early detection of disease. And, since they ultimately influence as much as 70% of health care decision making, they often reduce health care costs. As technology advances, a new generation of diagnostics testing that provides insights at the molecular level is delivering on the promise of personalized medicine. Andy Fish works daily with legislators and company leaders to make sure that the industry keeps moving in that direction. http://bit.ly/becomingceo
