Laboratory Integration Expands Diagnostic Capabilities for Whole-Person Care
Healthcare providers seeking comprehensive diagnostic tools have gained new capabilities through Fullscript’s acquisition of Rupa Health. This integration combines supplement management with laboratory testing coordination, creating a unified platform for whole-person care approaches.
The combined platform provides access to more than 3,000 laboratory tests through a single interface. Providers can coordinate test ordering, results management, and patient communication alongside supplement recommendations. This integration addresses the growing demand for personalized healthcare approaches.
Dr. Jeff Gladd, Fullscript’s chief medical officer, described the expansion: “With Rupa Health’s expertise in lab management combined with Fullscript’s platform for dispensing supplements and managing whole person care, we are bridging the gap between diagnostics and supplementation.”
Laboratory workflow improvements reduce administrative overhead for practices already managing complex patient cases. The platform streamlines processes that previously required multiple vendor relationships and separate communication channels. Results management integrates with existing treatment planning tools.
Mary-Beth Charno, a nurse practitioner using the platform since 2017, emphasized practical benefits: “I’ve been using Fullscript for three years now. I’m so happy with the platform. It lets me access industry-leading products and read labels and ingredients. I even filter my searches based on patient allergies or nutritional preferences.”
Educational components through Rupa University provide additional value for practitioners seeking continuing education in personalized care approaches. These resources complement the diagnostic capabilities with training on interpretation and treatment planning.
Quality assurance protocols extend to laboratory partnerships, ensuring that diagnostic tools meet the same standards applied to supplement sourcing. This consistency maintains provider confidence across all platform functions.
Patient experience improvements include coordinated communication about both test results and supplement modifications. This integration reduces confusion and improves adherence by providing clear connections between diagnostic findings and treatment recommendations through unified messaging systems.
