"Sunquest's software solutions and services deliver end-to-end workflows for molecular, clinical, anatomic pathology lab environment to support the growth of predictive and personalized medicine," said Divyaa Ravishankar, Industry Principal.

The success of Sunquest comes directly from the company's "Five Rights of Laboratory Testing" strategy of performing the right test on the right patient at the right time for the right indicators, which leads to the right diagnosis. Patient-centered healthcare is at the core of Sunquest's strategy of using leading-edge technology to provide automated processes, such as order management, sample management, and analytics.

Sunquest's strategic acquisitions over the past few years has enabled the company to offer solutions that improve interoperability between different software systems, integrate and streamline workflows, enhance its molecular informatics solution, and bolster its presence in global markets. Such acquisitions align with the company's goal of accelerating growth in precision medicine, such as its Sunquest Mitogen™ solution that translates genomics into routine diagnostic workflows in order to make the resulting information accessible to genetic counselors and molecular pathologists in real time. This solution helps bridge the gap between laboratories and clinicians by offering deep, cross-organizational communication.

The company has also established strong partnerships and ties with leading in vitro diagnostic vendors, which helps it understand the laboratory analyzer point of view. Meanwhile, its product development efforts reflect the voice and perspective of consumers. Small innovation teams comprised of 6 to 10 people steer customer engagement to advance the company's product development roadmap. Sunquest is developing its long-term strategy to focus on building solutions that catered to the top trends in the lab diagnostics space, including payer-provider consolidation, the rise of precision medicine, bundled payments, healthcare decentralization, and the transition of care from a hospital to ambulatory setting.
