Description:
The interfacing of test results and orders to multiple laboratories and external systems has become a standard expectation of Electronic Health Records. Multiple destinations for the same order are common, and if not well harmonized, can lead to confusion. This session presents several examples of the complexities and how they impact laboratory stewardship.
Learning Objectives:
  1. Explain the role of the EHR in furthering Laboratory Stewardship.
  2. Describe a method for the laboratory to assist with EHR menu optimization.
  3. Describe 3 ways to identify potential opportunities for improvement.
