THE CASE FOR SUB-SPECIALTY LABORATORIES

Clinical laboratory tests and anatomic pathology diagnoses affect the vast majority of treatment decisions made by clinical physicians. The more specific the laboratory’s sub-specialty, the more accurate the tests and the better the treatment plan. Here are some of the advantages of sub-specialty laboratories.

• As the “gold standard” for diagnosis in pathology, sub-specialty laboratories enable physicians to benefit from the   
  experience of specialized pathologists who practice with specialized skills

• Compared to general pathologists, sub-specialty laboratories pathologists acquire extensive knowledge during fellowship 
  training and review significantly greater numbers of cases over a given period of time

• At sub-specialty laboratories the staff allocates cases by types and conveys results clearly, concisely and correctly

• The extensive experience of sub-specialty laboratory’s pathologist has a strong impact on the precision
   of the pathology findings

• Sub-specialty laboratories reliability reduces misdiagnoses which can result in unnecessary, harmful and aggressive   
   therapy, or inadequate treatment

• Sub-specialty laboratories can provide a real means of reducing costs, improving efficiency, and providing exemplary care
