Mission
Clinical Pathology Laboratories Southeast delivers
on-site state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and professional
interpretive services to community physicians, hospitals and the
general population and offers faster turn-around time and
consultation support via advanced Information Technology.
Clinical diagnostic sciences and technologies have been
progressing at a very fast pace in recent years. Physicians need
guidance to use these technologies more efficiently and effectively
to practice evidence-based medicine. Patients and the general
public have also become increasingly interested in proactively
managing their own health with clinical laboratory information and
services for preventive care, disease surveillance, and treatment
efficacy and safety monitoring.
Financially, laboratory tests contribute significantly to the
continuous escalating health care costs. Lack of efficiency in
laboratory test utilization has resulted in large waste in health
care resources. Eliminating unnecessary laboratory testing while
improving outcome and quality of medical care has become a major
challenge for controlling laboratory expenditure in evidence-based
medical practices.
CPLSE aims to deliver clinical laboratory services with a
web-enabled expert system that provides physicians with guidance
for test utilization at the point of decision making. The same
system also provides patients and the general public direct access
to laboratory testing information and services to help them
proactively manage their health. For healthcare institutions and
third party payers, this system creates a new paradigm that allows
the implementation of a cost-effective, evidence-based laboratory
medicine practice.
