In the August 2017 issue was a report, “NGS panel aids in diagnosis of rare collision tumor,” written by members of the Association for Molecular Pathology. Here are answers (in bold) to the three “test yourself ” questions that followed that case report.
September 2017—Under the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, Medicare rates for laboratory tests will be recalculated to reflect “market-based pricing” as reported by “applicable laboratories.” But are labs going to get a market-based price, or is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services “gaming the system to ensure there will be a cut to the fee schedule”?
September 2017—Like an old friend with a new facelift, or a high-mileage car with a thorough tune-up, the 2017 edition of the CAP transfusion medicine checklist has undergone a significant number of small changes—none of which is startling in itself, but all of which combine to produce a fresh and streamlined effect. More than 90 of the checklist’s requirements have been revised, many in the name of alignment with FDA requirements.
September 2017—Those who have seen the strength of antibiotic stewardship hope the FDA’s clearance this year of an assay for antibiotic management will drive further and move faster the efforts being made to curb unnecessary use.
September 2017—Can data move the dial on diabetes? That’s the thinking behind Roche Diabetes Care’s new partnership with Accenture, and it’s how some labs and health care systems are already driving diabetes care to a whole new level.
September 2017—The CAP Surveys program is offering for 2018 a novel external proficiency test for laboratories that perform screening of cell-free (cf) DNA in maternal plasma for common aneuploidies.
September 2017—The CAP is set to launch next month the Pathologists Quality Registry for pathologists to begin using in 2018 to collect data under Medicare’s Quality Payment Program (QPP) Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) track.
August 2017—Talk about personalized medicine. While the national discussion about transgender women and men often pivots on civil rights legislation (exhibit A: so-called bathroom bills), the medical community has quietly begun to ask questions about how to provide care for transgender patients. In the process, assumptions are being turned sideways. And as laboratory professionals are realizing, the impact can affect everything from start (patient identification, test ordering) to finish (test results, billing), seemingly one patient at a time.
August 2017—There was no trip to the spa. But some sections of the 2017 edition of the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program checklist are looking trimmed and toned compared with last year’s checklists. A microbiology section that is shorter by eight pages, fewer Individualized Quality Control Plan reporting requirements, and a new section addressing chain of custody once again reflect the hard work of the Checklists Committee and scientific resource committees to achieve conciseness and clarity.
August 2017—The age of FDA-approved whole slide imaging for primary diagnosis has dawned with opportunity for every level of professional who works in the digital pathology environment. It includes not only an expanded professional cachet but also great potential born of collaborative and remote capabilities, and perhaps better patient outcomes as a result.
