Introduction
Lab Tests Online is a useful web-based reference.
Epidemiology
- price transparency of inpatient laboratory costs had no effect on physician ordering patterns*[1]
- ordering of unnecessary inpatient laboratory tests is often done due to a belief that the attending physician would be uncomfortable with less testing[2][3]
* lack of information about patients' actual out-of-pocket costs, if any[1]
Notes
- WHO publishes list of essential diagnostic tests to improve timely detection and treatment of common conditions[4]
