Each day pathologists are faced with ordering laboratory tests with which they are unfamiliar. An incorrectly ordered test or error in interpreting test results can lead to mistakes that compromise patient safety. Coagulation Disorders is focused pocket-sized handbook designed for clinical pathologists, lab managers, medical technologists, and residents intended to help them avoid these commonly seen errors. Utilizing a case-based approach each chapter features a concise overview of a major diagnosis, an illustrative case, and then a standards assessment which discusses the relevant evidence, guidelines, and any other standards or regulations pertinent to the problem. Where such standards are chiefly experience-based rather than evidence-based that is noted. Features of Coagulation Disorders include: * An emphasis on identifying established, evidence-based standards in coagulation testing * Actual case illustrations of commonly seen errors as well as the result of those errors on patient outcome and laboratory management * Examples of errors which compromise patient safety across all major areas of laboratory medicine * Pocket-sized for portability
