Do CLSI Documents Include Information on Consultative Services?
Yes. CLSI recognizes that the role of laboratory professionals has changed. In response to the evolving needs of the healthcare system, CLSI is increasingly incorporating guidance on consultative services and clinical interpretation into its documents.
Where applicable, new or revised CLSI documents may include strategies to:
- Formulate effective strategies for laboratory directors and personnel to engage with physicians
- Establish diagnostic stewardship as an essential element of collaborative consultation
- Improve communications among health care providers and implementation of laboratory test findings to support effective delivery of patient care
- Support improved diagnosis and treatment through test utilization management and risk assessment
CLSI is committed to supporting labs in delivering not just accurate and reliable results, but meaningful insights.
