Best Practices in Laboratory Medicine, 2011

Posted by Sten Westgard, MS

Do you remember the LMBP? This is the initiative sponsored by the CDC to seek out, evaluate and recommend Best Practices for Laboratory Medicine.

They're still at it, and here's a list of their current projects in development:

QUALITY ISSUE / PROBLEM: Biochemical Markers of Acute Myocardial Infarction:

QUALITY ISSUE / PROBLEM: HEMOLYSIS (RED BLOOD CELL DAMAGE):
https://www.futurelabmedicine.org/get_involved/public_comments/hemolysis.aspx
 
QUALITY ISSUE / PROBLEM: Rapid Identification of Bloodstream Infections:
https://www.futurelabmedicine.org/get_involved/public_comments/rapid_identification.aspx
 
LMBP is seeking out comments from YOU on (1)Evidence review key questions and analytic framework; (2) Outcome measures of interest; or (3) Draft methods reports, etc.

If you've got something to share, LMBP wants to hear from you. And if it's about a different issue or topic, that's great, too - they're also trying to identify new problems to tackle.
