Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s vision of sustainable, high quality health care is a goal of all medical and laboratory staff and faculty. The promise for diagnostic strategies tailored to enhance patient care is exciting, but comes at a large, ever-increasing and unsustainable cost to payers and society. The goal of establishing the Laboratory Formulary Committee is to promote evidence-based, cost-effective medical care and to protect patients from the cost and possible consequences of inappropriate or unnecessary testing. To accomplish this goal, the Laboratory Formulary Committee will have oversight of all laboratory testing performed at VUMC or through reference laboratories.
