This is the only book to explicitly guide clinicians through an evidence-based approach to ordering and interpreting laboratory tests. With over 160 commonly ordered tests, this book is designed to foster more accurate clinical decision-making to attain the highest level of patient care. This book summarizes more than 3000 pieces of evidence and incorporates clinical expertise and decision-making on the ordering and interpretation of tests. To promote ease of use, a convenient table maps labs and their corresponding chapter numbers to the relevant body system to promote ease of use.

Each laboratory test is presented in a consistent format with information on physiology, indications (screening, diagnosis, and monitoring), algorithms, test interpretation and follow-up testing, patient education, and related diagnoses. Additional valuable features include clinical pearls that highlight common pitfalls and gaps in reasoning, and a cost-benefit analysis. This book also includes CPT and ICD-10 codes, charts and tables for clarification, and references for further study.

Key Features:

• Delivers a strong, evidence-based approach to ordering and interpreting over 160 laboratory tests
• Promotes accurate clinical decision-making toward achieving the Triple Aim
• Includes abundant clinical pearls highlighting common pitfalls and gaps in reasoning
• Provides cost-benefit analysis and discussion of laboratory testing within a high-value healthcare culture
• Includes 175 supplemental case examples and 200 self-assessment questions to facilitate instruction and learning
• Includes more than 3000 pieces of evidence from interprofessional resources
