October 2019—The Project Santa Fe Foundation, which developed the concept of Clinical Lab 2.0, announced that it has filed for nonprofit 501c status and expanded its board of directors.
New members of the board include health care leaders from Seattle Children’s Hospital, Intermountain Healthcare, University of Vermont, Mayo Clinic, and NorthShore University HealthSystem.
“It is by design that PSFF did not trademark Clinical Lab 2.0, as we strongly believe that Clinical Lab 2.0 belongs to the health care industry, not to a single entity, and fundamentally believe that Clinical Lab 2.0 has no borders,” Khosrow Shotorbani, MBA, MT(ASCP), president and executive director of the Project Santa Fe Foundation, said in a press release. “The transition to value-based, Clinical Lab 2.0 standards will require cross-industry collaboration. We are honored to have these highly respected industry leaders join the global movement.”
Project Santa Fe is a nonprofit organization founded through a collaboration of the Henry Ford Health System, Northwell Health, Geisinger Health System, and TriCore Reference Laboratories.
