In House Test Utilization

In house testing is responsible for around 90% of a laboratory’s budget.  Laboratory Stewardship reduces reagent cost and improves FTE efficiency by reducing inappropriate test orders.  Focus areas include redundant daily testing, duplicate orders, etc.  With DRG reimbursement, attention to in house testing is critical.

Reference Laboratory Utilization

Reference testing can be costly, confusing and impact length of stay and time to correct diagnosis.  Reference laboratory stewardship reduces inappropriate testing while ensuring correct tests are ordered in the appropriate care setting to reduce cost.

Lab Stewardship Committee Development

In order to ensure appropriate utilization, a laboratory stewardship committee is beneficial. Determining committee structure, composition and governance is challenging. eutilogic consulting ensures you have access to tools and expertise to set up or support a laboratory stewardship committee.

Group 17

Test Formulary Development

Pharmacy utilization is guided by formularies.  Laboratory utilization can be too.  A commonsense approach to developing and maintaining a laboratory formulary will decrease cost and improve quality of care without compromising physician satisfaction.

Group 18

Order Set and Order Entry Optimization

Order sets and order entry tools can contribute to poor utilization and negatively impact timely delivery of care.  Have your order sets been reviewed from a laboratory perspective to ensure streamlined cost effective care?

Utilization Review Committee Support

While laboratory stewardship committees are still growing in popularity, laboratory stewardship can also contribute to existing utilization review committees mandated by CMS (CMS rules and regulations 482.30). eutilogic consulting assists in providing utilization opportunities to existing UR committees to jump start laboratory stewardship efforts in almost all hospitals.
