AI Article Synopsis
- Changing the design of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system led to an 87% decrease in the incorrect use of an HIV test.
- This highlights the importance of CPOE design in effectively managing diagnostics.
- Working together with infectious disease experts, lab professionals, and IT staff can enhance the quality of care and lower expenses.
Article Abstract
Altering the appearance of a computerized physician order entry (CPOE) interface reduces misuse of an HIV diagnostic test by 87%, demonstrating that CPOE design is a key component of diagnostic stewardship. Collaboration between infectious disease providers, clinical laboratorians, and information technology (IT) professionals can result in improved quality and decreased costs.

The pathogenic oomycete Pythium insidiosum causes a fatal infectious illness known as pythiosis, impacting humans and certain animals in numerous countries in the tropics and subtropics. Delayed diagnosis is a primary factor contributing to the heightened morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Several new serodiagnostic methods have been developed to improve the identification of pythiosis.

Antimicrobial resistant pathogens are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with overuse and misuse of antimicrobials being key contributors. We aimed to identify factors associated with antibiotic prescriptions among patients presenting to clinics in Kenya. We performed a retrospective, descriptive cohort study of persons presenting to outpatient clinics in Western and Coastal Kenya, including symptoms, physical exams, clinician assessments, laboratory results and prescriptions.

Laboratory analysis of blood cultures is vital to the accurate and timely diagnosis of bloodstream infections. However, the reliability of the test depends on clinical compliance with standard operating procedures that limit the risk of inconclusive or incorrect results. False-negative blood culture results due to inadequate volumes of blood can result in misdiagnosis, delay therapy, and increase patients' risk of developing or dying from bloodstream infections.

Background: As healthcare identifies new opportunities to provide patient services and moves from volume to value payment models, the clinical laboratory is in an ideal position to serve as a catalyst for these changes. In 2017, the Project Santa Fe Foundation (PSFF) was founded to support the clinical laboratory's role to promote the objectives of population health and value-based healthcare. The initiative, known as Clinical Lab 2.

Background: As clinical laboratories struggle to maintain their financial footing and as patients face mounting out-of-pocket expenses for diagnostic testing, being able to perform financial analysis of laboratory stewardship efforts has become an increasingly important skill.
Content: Understanding the revenue cycle as it relates to diagnostic testing is fundamental to selecting, designing, implementing, and evaluating laboratory stewardship interventions for maximum financial return. Leveraging the data and processes driving the revenue cycle can inform informatics-based interventions (such as clinical decision support) and allow deliberate financial analyses of stewardship-focused projects.
