Abstract
“Outcomes Assessment” has become one of the enduring buzzwords of the decade. But it often seems to be like the weather: Everyone talks about it, but relatively few do anything about it. As clinical laboratory scientists, we have repeatedly challenged ourselves to demonstrate that laboratory results affect patient outcome. Yet very few well-done studies have been published. (How many times have you heard and read the results of those few studies by now?)
