Pharmacists play a crucial role in clinical laboratory testing, guiding drug therapy decisions. Recommending tests only when results prompt action ensures efficient patient care and cost-effectiveness.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Pharmacy
  • Laboratory Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Clinical laboratory tests are vital for healthcare professionals, complementing physical exams and medical history.
  • Pharmacists are integral to optimizing patient outcomes through laboratory test utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the essential role of pharmacists in clinical laboratory testing.
  • To emphasize the judicious selection and interpretation of laboratory tests for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM).
  • To guide pharmacists in making evidence-based recommendations for drug therapy adjustments.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the pharmacist's responsibilities in test selection and interpretation.
  • Emphasis on cost-effectiveness in ordering laboratory test panels versus individual assays.
