  • Title: Decision-oriented test request forms. A system for implementing practice parameters in laboratory medicine.
    Author: Speicher CE.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 1991 Mar; 11(1):255-65. PubMed ID: 2040147.
    Abstract:
    The implementation of practice parameters in laboratory medicine by changing physicians' behavior represents a major challenge. Education, restriction of tests, financial incentives, and concurrent chart reviews have not been effective in persuading physicians to improve their use of laboratory tests. The use of decision-oriented test request forms is suggested as an approach to this problem.
