Dr. Weiss discusses the future of diagnostic testing
In a roudtable discussion with EHM, Ronald Weiss, MD, MBA, executive vice president of corporate communication at ARUP Laboratories, focuses on recent advances in technology, automation, and IT, and their influence on diagnostic testing. Dr. Weiss also discusses Point of Care testing and cost-efficient diagnostic solutions. Dr. Weiss believes that providing a clear understanding of testing indications and results interpretation—using tools like ARUP Consult®—will lead to better patient care.
- Physicians need to have ready access to information that facilitates the use of the correct laboratory test, the correct result, in the correct clinical situation, and at the right time. Whether it is PoC [Point of Care], from a hospital clinical laboratory, or from a reference laboratory, these clinical laboratory principles hold for physician and health system alike. See more
