Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Successful and ethical management of a clinical laboratory requires vigilant focus on proper business conduct. A comprehensive risk management program must encompass government standards as provided for financial and marketing practices, including fraud and abuse, antitrust, antikickback, privacy, and security. The program also must incorporate the appropriate reaction to medical malpractice litigation along with considerations of expert testimony.
