ARUP Consult : free laboratory test selection information

Up to 80 percent of major health care decisions are based on laboratory testing results.
On a daily basis, physicians and health care providers are challenged to stay current on test interpretation and indications, including recommendations that are congruent with national guidelines. As a result, the average physician must navigate through a multitude of test options to avoid delayed or incorrect diagnoses.
In response to this industry need, ARUP Laboratories, an enterprise of the University of Utah and its Department of Pathology, has introduced ARUP Consult®, The Physician’s Guide to Laboratory Test Selection and Interpretation.
ARUP Consult provides point-of-care access to laboratory test selection information, enabling physicians to improve patient health and reduce overall health care costs through proper selection of laboratory tests. The complimentary product features over 1,000 tests categorized for diagnostic decision-making, as well as topic categories with clinical background information.
ARUP Consult is available free of charge in both PDA and Web formats at
