    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Laboratory Medicine
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Optimizing laboratory test requests is crucial for healthcare efficiency.
    • General practitioners (GPs) play a key role in diagnostic tool utilization.
    • This study focused on improving laboratory test ordering practices.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement strategies for optimal laboratory test requests in consensus with GPs.
    • To evaluate the impact of these strategies on test ordering patterns and economic outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Collaborative meetings between laboratory staff and GPs to analyze request patterns.
    • Implementation of specific strategies: removing/substituting tests and setting criteria for specific measurements (e.g., total bilirubin).
    • Comparative analysis of test requests pre- and post-intervention, including key performance indicators and cost savings.

    Main Results:

    • A significant decrease in overall laboratory test requests was observed post-intervention.
    • The AST/ALT ratio met the target indicator, while GGT/ALT did not.
    • The implemented strategies resulted in substantial economic savings exceeding €34,000.

    Conclusions:

    • Strategies developed collaboratively between laboratories and clinicians are effective in optimizing test requests.
    • Integration with laboratory information systems facilitates the successful implementation of these strategies.
    • The study demonstrates a successful model for improving diagnostic test utilization and cost-effectiveness.
