\u2022 New Plan Aims to Slash Unnecessary Medical Testing<\/p>\n

Researchers at top hospitals in the U.S. and Canada, including UVA, have developed an ambitious plan to eliminate unnecessary medical testing, with the goal of reducing medical bills while improving patient outcomes, safety and satisfaction.<\/p>\n

The researchers are urging physicians and other care providers to reconsider the use of routine daily lab tests performed on hospitalized patients. Automatically performing such tests without determining they are important to the patient\u2019s treatment is a \u201cwasteful clinical practice that threatens the value of health care,\u201d the researchers warn in a new paper published in JAMA Internal Medicine, a journal of the American Medical Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite strong evidence for the negative effects of routine daily laboratory testing on patients, there remains a need for improved implementation of this high-value measure,\u201d said the paper\u2019s senior author, Andrew Parsons, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at UVA School of Medicine. \u201cOur aim is to assist other institutions that would like to promote this high-value practice as a quality-improvement effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

George Hoke, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, at UVA School of Medicine, also contributed to the study.<\/p>\n
