The clinical laboratory is a fantastic toolkit that doctors use on a daily basis, with 70% of downstream clinical decisions stemming from patient laboratory results. To better support collaborative care and enhance family physician/ nurse practitioner and specialist communication, the Shared Care Pathology Decision Support Initiative (PSDI) is hosting Burnaby’s first Interdisciplinary Lab Medicine Physician Symposium. The panel discussion and audience Q&A aims to explore a range of perspectives in medicine on the use of laboratory medicine, and how to improve systems and processes to maximize effectiveness of the clinical laboratory.
