Promoting Appropriate Use of Laboratory Tests
Up to 80 percent of major health care decisions rely on the results of laboratory testing. Staying current on indications and interpretation of laboratory tests is a challenge for all health care workers. By sharing technical and medical knowledge, ARUP Laboratories' Analyzing Test Ordering Patterns™ (ATOP®) program, headed by Brian Jackson, MD, MS, provides a powerful tool for improving laboratory-test utilization.
Dr. Jackson, medical director of informatics at ARUP, navigates the over-, under- and misuse of tests to avoid delayed or incorrect diagnoses in this online presentation, "Promoting Appropriate Use of Laboratory Tests." View video.
