The CAP’s recently launched Test Ordering Program offers tools and self-assessment modules to assist pathologists in understanding and improving test utilization, so that the pathologist, in collaboration with clinician colleagues, can improve the value and effectiveness of the wider health care organization.

In this CAPcast from the College of American Pathologists, Dr. Ronald Schifman, a pathologist with the Veterans Health Administration, discusses the wide-ranging benefits of this program, which is free to CAP members. Dr. Schifman also shares his experience with improving test utilization at the VA and how these improvements impacted patient care.
