Subtotal laboratory utilization #3
Description
The community laboratory utilization could be broken down and subtotal by broad categories of types, or functions of assays. A few possible categories to consider:
- microbiology assays, i.e cultures
- blood chemistry, gases, counts, and composition
- immunochemistry assays, antibody assays, amplification, SNPs, virology, and molecular biology assays
- all other assays
Once 2-4 categories are identified, the subtotaling can follow the pattern set by the pharmacy dispensing subtotals.
