A Comprehensive Point-of-Care Reference Guide for Over 600 Lab Tests

Designed to be used at the point of care, the PDR® Lab Advisor enables the busy healthcare professional to quickly look up the most relevant tests to order to confirm a diagnosis and then assist the patient in interpreting and, if necessary, act on the results. This authoritative guide facilitates clinical decision-making, saves time, and reduces the number of marginal, costly tests ordered. It supports decision-making in three key stages of testing-consideration, specification, and interpretation-by helping the clinician:

• Identify the best test(s) to order to diagnose or monitor a patient's condition
• Determine next steps if test results are abnormal
• Identify medications that could interfere with a test and cause a false result
• Minimize costly "do-overs" by reducing the number of unnecessary tests ordered
• Interpret the results of unfamiliar or rarely-ordered tests

With relevant information on more than 600 lab tests, the PDR® Lab Advisor is an ideal resource for physicians, RNs, NPs, PAs, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals.
