In a series of qualitative focus groups with primary care physicians, HHS/CDC identified common concerns and problems with laboratory test ordering and test interpretation. This information collection includes a survey that will quantify the prevalence and impact of the issues identified within the focus groups. Laboratory medicine is undergoing change with the introduction of new tests, focus on evidence-based medicine, and use of electronic health records, but there has been no systematic study of how this evolution affects primary care practice and if physicians are effectively incorporating lab testing innovations into their practices. Understanding the relative importance of physician issues in the effective and efficient use of laboratory medicine in diagnosis will guide future efforts of the CDC to improve primary care practice and improve health outcomes of the American public.
