ABSTRACT
Under the collective weight of growing test volume, staffing constraints, and Medicare reimbursements cuts, an enhancement-based, alternative payment structure focused on rewarding the laboratory's care delivery efforts via benchmarking is appealing. However, achieving a value-based payment model requires the development of an inclusive laboratory care delivery model (LCDM) framework. Today, a holistic, practical LCDM framework for laboratory medicine does not exist. However, such creation is essential for establishing unifying tenants of practice for value-tracing by which standardized key performance and population health indicators can be derived. LAB-CARES is the first step in formulating an LCDM with the primary objective of defining and streamlining the processes and strategies necessary to deliver and articulate the value of diagnostic excellence across the healthcare system. The goal of LAB-CARES is to maximize efficiencies, enhance quality, disseminate clinical expertise, increase patient safety, and promote integrative practice. LAB-CARES is designed to improve an individual patient's quality of life (longitudinal laboratory results - beyond one test) and their surrounding communities (e.g., through surveillance and prevention - beyond one patient). Further professional conversation and efforts are paramount to integrate LAB-CARES as a formalized structure within the healthcare landscape.
