Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Advances in clinical laboratory medicine have created an opportunity for clinical laboratory scientists to assume a new role--the role of educator in the integrated healthcare system. A gap created between critical laboratory test results and medical decisions requires the translation of laboratory results into meaningful clinical guidelines. This article suggests three ways the clinical laboratory scientist can fill this gap.
