The Institute of Medicine in the United States has recently organized a committee, of which I am a member, on diagnostic error in health care. It has become clear that major contributors to diagnostic mistakes include the incorrect selection of laboratory tests and the misinterpretation of laboratory test results. As the clinical laboratory test menu has greatly expanded in the past decade in size, complexity, and cost, the challenge of ordering the right tests, and only the right tests, and correctly interpreting complex test results, has become a signifcant challenge for most health care providers for a larger and larger percentage of their patients.
