FAST · Facilitating Access to Sequencing & Testing

From coverage to testing, faster.

FAST closes the gap between coverage for biomarker testing and the testing patients actually receive, starting in Tennessee.

Objective
Patients eligible for guideline-recommended biomarker testing are tested before treatment decisions are made.

What it involves

Awareness campaigns and Implementation Support Programs.

Under FAST, awareness campaigns bring patients, families and partners together around what's changing in care, and Implementation Support Programs find what works and scale it rapidly.

Know a gap we should test?Identify a gap

Campaigns can be sponsored: sponsors fund reach and content, never conclusions. Events and publications are promoted, not sponsored. Implementation Support Programs are sponsored separately and follow a defined protocol. Sponsors may help identify implementation challenges, populations or outcomes of interest. Design, governance and evaluation stay independent. How we stay independent

Everyone has a part to play.

Health systems and employers
Become an implementation hub.

Bring FAST to your patients or workforce. We start with a 30-minute discovery call to define one gap, your population and a baseline.

  • Implementation activities funded under written agreements, never tied to product selection or volume
  • Live in as little as four weeks
  • A defined protocol and measures set up front
  • Results you can share with your patients and board
Patients and advocacy organizations
We amplify your work

We send patients to your resources and feature your experts during Test Before Treatment. Partnering starts with a single post.

AHIS selects who is featured. Sponsors don't. Participation by sponsors, members or partners does not imply AHIS endorsement or preferential treatment.

Let's close this gap together.
