From basement to bedside: Leveraging laboratory expertise to improve clinical outcomes through diagnostic stewardship

Despite the critical role diagnostic stewardship practices can play in antimicrobial stewardship, it remains a discipline not well understood or appreciated as a driver for improving patient outcomes.

In this SelectScience^® webinar, diagnostic stewardship will be defined, a framework for stewardship programs will be presented, and intervention techniques and impacts will be described.

Additionally, learn potential reasons why diagnostic stewardship is only recently garnering attention as a clinically impactful practice and how a stronger relationship between the laboratory and other healthcare specialties can continue the momentum going forward.
