One proven solution is adopting an effective test utilization program to ensure the right test is delivered to the right patient at the right time. Test utilization initiative can often be misjudged by the healthcare industry as laboratories trying to do less at the detriment of the patient. In reality, these initiatives help educate the industry as a whole by providing direction around the correct tests to order in certain situations.
