Our First Collaborative: Global Aim We aim to reduce harm to patients and conserve system resources by optimizing the use of laboratory tests for patients cared for in our region’s hospitals. We will use a collaborative approach considering the best medical evidence and quality improvement science. It begins with an evaluation of current test ordering profiles and patterns followed by an organized plan to optimize testing and ends with a plan to sustain these practices. By doing this we expect to reduce cost and improve satisfaction and quality of care for patients and the health system. It is important to work on this now because as health care professionals we can play an important role in health care reform by designing more patient-centered, efficient and high value inpatient care. 3
