Background: Thoughtful laboratory testing is a key component of high-value and cost-effective patient care. Studies estimate that nearly half of laboratory tests may be unnecessary in certain patient populations. The drivers of observed variation in laboratory testing are not clearly established; our study aims to examine whether testing varies by hospitalist years of experience. Methods: […]
