Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated an algorithmic testing approach in hematopathology to enhance cost-effectiveness in test selection at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, especially for expensive molecular assays.
- Researchers developed standard ordering protocols (SOPs) for 17 disease categories, comparing data from six months of beta testing to actual testing practices, along with two years of prospective data from a community site.
- Results showed a massive improvement in test concordance after implementing SOPs, with a decrease in overordered tests and significant potential annual savings of over $1.3 million, indicating that algorithmic testing can streamline procedures without compromising vital information.

Methods: We evaluated the effect of two outpatient interventions: an automated comment on increasing creatinine results (intervention I; 6 months; =159) along with an email to the provider (intervention II; 3 months; =105), compared with a control (baseline; 6 months; =176).
The ability to access and analyze data is critical to manage a laboratory and respond and adapt to changes, particularly during a pandemic. Data analytic tools can not only improve laboratory operations, but also increase the visibility of the laboratory in the healthcare system and demonstrate the positive impact of the laboratory on patient care. In this article, we describe the creation and utility of laboratory dashboards.
