For diagnostic laboratories

Differentiate your service.
Support your providers.

Most laboratories compete on price, turnaround, and panel size. The laboratories that win compete on what providers actually do with the result. AICC adds pathologist-led consultation to every complex molecular case, returned under your brand, integrated into your existing workflow.

What your laboratory gains

Three things your providers
will notice immediately.

/ 01 / Clinical value

Reports providers actually act on.

A list of pathogens and resistance markers is data. A pathologist-signed recommendation for the narrowest effective therapy is a clinical decision aid. Your providers stop puzzling over the result and start treating the patient.

/ 02 / Differentiation

Stand apart from every other lab.

Algorithm-only competitors cannot match expert interpretation. When two labs return the same organism list and one returns a signed consultation with treatment guidance, providers remember which one supported them. Loyalty follows.

/ 03 / Defensibility

Documentation that holds up.

Every consultation is reviewed and signed by a board-certified pathologist. That signature is what makes the report clinically defensible and professionally credible. Algorithm-only services cannot match it.

A list of organisms is not
a treatment plan.

The question a provider asks
Algorithm-only report
AICC consultation
Which organism is actually causing the infection?
A list of detected pathogens. The provider sorts it out.
A pathologist's clinical impression of which organism is the likely culprit, given the panel context.
What do these resistance markers mean together?
Each gene reported separately. Their combined implications are left to the provider to research.
Combined resistance interpretation, distilled from current guidelines and stewardship principles.
Which antibiotics still work?
Not addressed in the report. Provider consults Sanford, calls ID, or guesses.
A specific therapeutic recommendation, anchored to the narrowest effective spectrum.
Who do I call if I have questions?
A call center, a chatbot, or no contact path at all.
A real pathologist picks up the phone.
Is the report clinically defensible?
Generated by software. No professional signature behind the recommendation.
Signed by a board-certified pathologist. Defensible by design.

Measurable shifts in how
providers engage with your lab.

Fewer follow-up calls asking what the result means.

When the consultation is in the report, providers do not need to call to ask what an unfamiliar resistance gene implies. Your client services team handles the calls that actually require them.

Higher provider satisfaction, measured by retention.

Providers stay with the laboratory that supports them. The consultation is not a marketing claim. It is a daily piece of evidence that your laboratory delivers more than a result.

Stewardship outcomes you can stand behind.

Every consultation recommends the narrowest effective therapy. Over time, your laboratory becomes part of the antimicrobial stewardship effort, not a contributor to broad-spectrum overuse.

A competitive moat against algorithm-only entrants.

New entrants compete on price and panel size. AICC consultation is the difference between selling a commodity test and selling a clinical service.

Common questions from laboratories

Practical answers, before the call.

How does AICC integrate with our laboratory?

AICC integrates with your existing workflow. Your operations team is not asked to learn a new system or run a parallel process. Results route to our pathology team automatically the moment they are released, and signed consultations return into your existing reporting flow.

Detailed integration discussion happens after a discovery call so we can match the approach to your specific systems.

Whose name appears on the consultation report?

The signing pathologist's name and credentials appear on the consultation. The laboratory's brand and logo appear on the larger report. Providers see one unified document delivered by your laboratory, with the pathologist's signature providing the clinical authority behind the recommendation.

What test categories does AICC consult on?

AICC is currently focused on complex molecular diagnostics, particularly multiplex pathogen panels with resistance gene detection. The consultation model extends naturally to adjacent test categories where structured laboratory data benefits from specialist interpretation.

If your laboratory runs a test category not listed publicly, raise it on the discovery call. The framework is broader than what we describe externally.

Is the consultation independent of the test interpretation?

Yes. The laboratory's underlying test result is unchanged by the consultation. AICC's pathologist reviews the released result and provides a separate professional consultation report on the clinical implications, distinct from the laboratory's analytical interpretation.

What if a provider has a question about a specific case?

A board-certified pathologist is available to discuss the case directly. Not a call center. Not a chatbot. Complex cases deserve real conversations, and providers remember which laboratories make those conversations possible.

What does the onboarding process look like?

The first step is a 30 minute discovery call. We discuss your laboratory's existing operation, the test categories of interest, and where the consultation would add value. From there, the engagement proceeds at a pace that fits your operational and compliance timeline.

There is no obligation to commit on the first call. The goal is to determine fit.
