IN PARTNERSHIP WITH +

We must continue to push the envelope as we think and work “Beyond the Lab.”

• Our health care system is moving to a new model that maximizes efficiency, with changes to delivery and reimbursement approaches.

• Doing the right thing for patients will always be what is most important, requiring the right diagnostic insights

• That depends on our laboratories and laboratorians

• We must lead when it comes to diagnostic services • Advance patient-centered care • Improve overall healthcare quality • Reduce unnecessary utilization

• And we will be regarded (and rewarded) as much for

what we don’t do as what we do actually do

Page 11: Choosing Wisely - CSP › docs › 2013 Conf PDFs › 24 - ASCP Choosing...Choosing Wisely: How California Pathologists Can Influence Appropriate Testing + This symposium is made possible

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH +

Effective and timely use of laboratory diagnostic services will be a cornerstone of ACO success • Optimizes quality

• More rapid diagnosis and treatment • Patient centered management • Allows for effective treatments

• Reduces Costs

• Reduced unnecessary (and potentially dangerous) interventions

• Shortened times to treatment

There’s a big opportunity for effective use of laboratory services in new delivery models.

Take Charge of Reducing Costs

“”

Most doctors have no idea what these tests cost, so they have no way of knowing they are contributing to the astronomical cost of health care. Dr. Leonard Feldman Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

• Many of the organizations shown earlier have developed recommendations that involve laboratory testing

• Laboratory testing is so critical to the practice of medicine

• That’s why other organizations talk about testing appropriateness

Although there is only one primary lab organization involved…

Lyme Disease Tests (ACR) There are two blood tests for Lyme disease, but usually you don't need them. Medical Tests Before Eye Surgery (AAO) Most people don't need to have their blood tested or their heart checked before they have eye surgery. Painkiller Choices with Kidney or Heart Problems (ASN) If you suffer from high blood pressure, heart failure, or kidney disease, steer clear of some pain relievers. Pap Tests (AAFP) Many teenage girls and some women have the test when they don’t need it. Spirometry for Asthma (AAAAI) Many people who need the test don’t receive it.

Sample of Choosing Wisely Topics for Consumers

Testosterone for Erection Problems (AUA) Unless you have other symptoms of low testosterone, you should think twice about the treatment. Treating Blocked Leg Arteries (SVM) Most people with Peripheral Artery Disease won't benefit from surgery or angioplasty. Treating Heartburn and GERD (AGA) In most cases of heartburn a PPI isn't necessary. Treating Sinusitis (AAAAI and AAFP) Millions of people who don’t need them are prescribed antibiotics each year for sinusitis.

Lab Tests Before Surgery (ASCP) Most healthy people don't need blood or urine tests done before surgery, especially low-risk surgery.

Stress Tests After Procedures (ASNC) Unless you're experiencing symptoms, this test usually isn't helpful in the first few years after heart bypass surgery or a stent procedure. Stress Tests After Procedures (ASNC) Unless you're experiencing symptoms, this test usually isn't helpful in the first few years after heart bypass surgery or a stent procedure. Stress Tests Before Surgery (SVM) If you’re having surgery, you will probably not need a heart stress test beforehand if you are healthy, active, and feeling well, or if you’re having minor surgery. Stress Tests for Chest Pain (ASNC) If you’re at low risk for having a heart problem, even if you have symptoms, you usually don’t need this imaging test.

Choosing Wisely Guidelines Pertinent to the Clinical Pathology-Internal Medicine Interface

Organization Guideline

AAFP No pap <21y or s/p hysterectomy

ACP D-dimer as initial test for VTE in low risk patients

ACR No ANA subserologies w/o pos ANA and clinical suspicion No Lyme testing w/o exposure hx and findings on exam

ASCO No biomarker or radiographic surveillance for breast Ca Rxd with curative intent No PSA screening if life expectancy <10 years

ASN No cancer screenings in dialysis pts

SHM No blood txs for arbitrary H/H Don’t repeat CBC/chemistries if clinically stable

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH +

• 49 yo man with R>L calf soreness after cross-country flight

• No h/o of VTE, thrombophilia, smoking or cancer

• Exam shows trace pitting edema at the ankles, perhaps a bit more prominent on right

• Physician orders venous duplex scan “to be sure”

• Within 30 minutes of placing order in EHR, physician receives call from “combined diagnostic consultation service,” a joint service of pathology and radiology

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH +

A Futuristic Dialog

Thanks for sending in a request for Duplex scanning. I took the liberty of computing a Wells score, and it looks like this patient is at very low risk of DVT. Is there something I missed?

PATHOLOGIST

Not really. I doubt there’s much going on, but the patient is anxious and we need some reassurance.

INTERNIST

Did you know that in low risk patients, a negative d-dimer practically rules out VTE?

I vaguely remember something along those lines.

If you want, I can change your order to a d-dimer and have the lab tech call you directly when the result is back—it usually takes about 4 hours.

Did you say you’re from Pathology?

Page 69: Choosing Wisely - CSP › docs › 2013 Conf PDFs › 24 - ASCP Choosing...Choosing Wisely: How California Pathologists Can Influence Appropriate Testing + This symposium is made possible

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH +

• Collaborate with internists (and radiologists) on: • Educational programs • POC guidelines, test interpretation, and risk calculators

• Establish and evaluate diagnostic consult services

How can pathologists help internists to choose wisely?

• Beyond insurance policy

• “Educated” consumers are driving demand for laboratory test services outside insurance plans

• Genomic testing, 23 and me etc. • Trace elements • Salivary hormone levels • Lyme disease panels

• Consumers pay large out of pocket

amounts for designer tests

Pathologists as Educators

– Opportunity to educate patients about test utility, predictive value

• Consumers do not want to waste money • Financial incentives prevent those who sell tests from

educating people about the tests’ true utility and predictive value

• Market for information about what is useful, as for all consumer products

• Consumer Reports for lab tests, • Decision software to guide cost-benefit concerns

Page 74: Choosing Wisely - CSP › docs › 2013 Conf PDFs › 24 - ASCP Choosing...Choosing Wisely: How California Pathologists Can Influence Appropriate Testing + This symposium is made possible

In partnership with +

• Websites and blogs for consumers in health forums discussing pros and cons of testing

• Info materials for PCPs to provide their patients

• Employer materials for employees about over-used preventive tests

• Take the high road: algorithms for appropriate use into test ordering pages in direct to consumer marketing.

• Also of course in physician-directed ordering as discussed
