ARTICLES

Unwinding the mystery of Heartland virus disease

July 2014—Missouri is no country for old men. Clinical, laboratory, and epidemiologic investigations conducted during the past five years have identified a new virus that can cause considerable illness and perhaps even death. All eight patients definitively proven to be ill with this virus have been over age 50; seven lived in Missouri.

Lab gets a jump on pay-for-value world

July 2014—Before the Affordable Care Act was passed, and before the notion of an ACO became a Medicare reality, Richard J. Cote, MD, was among those in medicine who saw the writing on the wall regarding health care payment. Dr. Cote recalls his thinking as he joined the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in 2009 to become chair of its Department of Pathology.

For safety and savings, lab takes on transfusions

July 2014—Hospitals are under fire to cut costs, and more often than not that means layoffs, forgoing new equipment, and watching from the sidelines as the medical literature touts advances that could help patients now—if only institutions could afford to implement them.

PT referral rules bring regulatory relief for labs

July 2014—Laboratories now may be saved from draconian penalties, such as loss of a CLIA license and probation periods, for mistakenly sending proficiency test specimens to another facility. Under new rules published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, laboratories have the regulatory relief the CAP advocated during the past decade. The CMS will still severely punish those attempting to cheat on proficiency testing, but laboratories that unknowingly or unintentionally refer PT specimens will face alternative sanctions, according to the regulations.

Slashing send-out costs with lab formularies

July 2014—A glance at most hospital laboratory spreadsheet makes it clear: Where laboratories could reduce high-cost reference testing for inpatients and unreimbursed send-out testing for outpatients, the savings would be striking. But voluntary education programs geared to improving test ordering practices are known to have their limits. Could a mild form of, well, coercion be helpful?

AML molecular testing a map with many paths

July 2014—When it comes to molecular testing for acute myeloid leukemia, the approach seems more Montessori than military school. There are some basic steps physicians should take, to be sure. Cytogenetics still shepherds patients into three prognostic groups: favorable, intermediate, and unfavorable. And several gene mutations—NPM1, CEBPA, FLT3, and KIT—alone or in combination, and with various cytogenetic associations, provide additional prognostic and therapeutic guidance.

In amyloidosis, timely diagnoses lag therapy gains

July 2014—G-G-G-E♭. Also known as da-da-da-DUM. Also known as the opening to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. It’s a simple motif, heard repeatedly in the piece (not to mention across the centuries), yet no less thrilling for that fact. Maria M. Picken, MD, PhD, finds herself repeating an equally straightforward motif when she speaks about amyloidosis, and it, too, is worth hearing again: The disease is not being diagnosed early enough, and sometimes not at all. That theme has been a steady refrain of hers over the years, and it runs throughout a recent interview with CAP TODAY, so much so that she worries readers will respond with, Oh no, here she goes again.

Data spark new directions in cervical cancer

June 2014—When Mark Stoler, MD, stood up to speak at the 30th annual Clinical Virology Symposium on April 29, his topic was timely. Dr. Stoler was presenting three-year followup data from the ATHENA trial, in which a primary human papillomavirus screening algorithm based on the Roche Cobas HPV assay was compared with traditional cytology and a hybrid cotesting algorithm for their ability to prevent cervical cancer.

New analyzers, connectivity, tests, and software features

June 2014—Cleared in April by the FDA is Nova’s newest—the Stat Profile Prime, which features Zero maintenance cartridges and MicroSensor technology. The Zero maintenance cartridge technology consists of individual cartridges for biosensors, calibrators, and liquid QC. The design optimizes the life of each cartridge, improves analyzer uptime, and eliminates the waste, downtime, and higher costs associated with older systems, says Rick Rollins, Nova marketing specialist. Stat Profile Prime analyzers deliver a 10-test profile—pH, PCO2 , PO2 , Na, K, iCa, Cl, Hct, glucose, and lactate—in 60 seconds.
