April 2015—How a best practice alert cut unneeded transfusions: Embedding a decision support tool in an EMR to nudge physicians toward an evidence-based practice—without ruffling feathers—can be a delicate process. But two physicians at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center did just that when they launched a best practice alert that encourages adherence to new guidelines for ordering blood.
April 2015—Why is the number 12 for lymph node retrieval in colon cancer protocol reporting not specific to the kind of resected specimens and whether a total colectomy was performed? We are establishing a list of maximum allowable dilutions for our clinical chemistry analytes. Are you aware of any reference that would list absurd or invalid values for such analytes, i.e. the endpoint that would determine the most dilutions we would have to do for the highest possible value for that analyte?
April 2015—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. Here, this month, is case No. 7.
April 2015—Think age is important only if you’re a Hollywood actress (unless you’re lucky enough to be Meryl Streep)? Think again. Specifically, Joan Etzell, MD, wants pathologists to think about age-adjusted reference ranges for thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. They’re intrinsic to the basic definitions of these diseases, she pointed out in a course on peripheral cytopenias at last year’s AACC meeting.
April 2015—In December 2011, M. Elizabeth H. Hammond, MD, was a member of an expert panel for an NIH State-of-the-Science conference on the role of active surveillance in managing men with localized prostate cancer. At these public meetings patients can address the panelists.
April 2015—If you ask average patients what infectious diseases they worry about contracting during a hospital stay, Ebola may top the list, perhaps followed by MRSA and HIV. But ask clinical microbiologists what has been keeping them up at night lately, and those pathogens aren’t the ones they cite.
April 2015—Alexis Carter, MD, immediate past president of the Association for Pathology Informatics, isn’t under any illusion about how well information technology is meeting the needs of molecular diagnostics. “Laboratory information systems right now do a fairly decent job of getting samples to the right lab, tracking the sample, and reporting results,” Dr. Carter says. But when it comes to molecular diagnostics laboratories, “LISs are really not where they should be. They’re kind of moving at a turtle’s pace to keep up.”
April 2015—Method precision and frequent causes of errors in point-of-care glucose testing; Safety considerations for testing specimens suspected or known to contain Ebola virus.
April 2015—Before I could become your president, my partners had to agree to cover for me. I would be away a lot and it would be more work for everyone. We talked about it, weighed the impact on our practice, considered what it would mean for them, and came to a consensus. I would be the person whose picture appeared on this page. They would have a decisive role in making it possible.
April 2015—St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, brings a razor-sharp focus to its mission: the 78-bed institution cares for children with catastrophic illnesses, including leukemias and lymphomas, solid tumors, hematology disorders (including sickle cell disease), and infectious diseases. It doesn’t have an emergency department. Consistent with its goal of advancing cures, all its patients are enrolled in research protocols.
