By analyzing test utilization patterns, laboratories can save shave hundreds of thousands of dollars every year of their bottom line by identifying and eliminating expensive tests that are of little to no clinical value.

But this analysis is complicated. Better test utilization requires a careful balance of saving money through paring down a test menu, while at the same time not eliminating tests that are important to your clients.

Join Washington G-2 Reports as the leading researchers on test utilization from Massachusetts General Hospital outline how to best assess the financial state of your test menu, and how to make changes in test offerings based on utilization algorithms. This intensive 90-minute program will provide tools you can apply in your own facility—whether you are in a lab or pathology practice.

During this audio conference, you will:

• Learn what algorithms are used to analyze utilization patterns
• Identify unnecessary and expensive tests that are costing your lab thousands and thousands of dollars every year
• Understand how to design your test menu to maximize revenue and reimbursement
• Learn about the other financially-related benefits to eliminating waste in your test menu
• Find out how to apply this analysis and improve the financial performance of your lab
