Bartlett, K.j. Et Al. (2020). Promoting Appropriate Utilisation Of Laboratory

The study examined the utilization of laboratory tests for inflammation, particularly CRP, in a 562-bed academic medical centre in New England. The goal was to reduce unnecessary ESR testing by understanding the ordering practices of physician leaders through a survey. The potential significance of CRP in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia was also evaluated. The study was published in BMJ Open Quality in 2020.

The study titled "Promoting Appropriate Utilization of Laboratory Tests for Inflammation at an Academic Medical Center" by Bartlett, K.J. et al. in 2020 explores the utilization of laboratory tests for inflammation within a 562-bed academic medical center in New England. The focus was on understanding the ordering practices of physician leaders to reduce unnecessary ESR testing. Additionally, the study evaluated the potential significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

The findings and insights from this study could be valuable for improving the appropriate utilization of laboratory tests for inflammation and potentially optimizing diagnostic practices in the context of inflammatory conditions and their relevance to schizophrenia. This study was published in BMJ Open Quality in 2020.
