- W31483044 abstract "Laboratory testing for serum tumor markers traditionally has been performed in low volume in most hospitals. Many markers are sent out to reference laboratories. Over the past decade, serum tumor marker testing in patient management has become more defined, resulting in increasing test volume and wider availability of assays on automated immunodiagnostic platforms.A retrospective review of laboratory operations, test volumes, and budgets over a 10-year period. Results of utilization initiatives as part of a clinical practice management team also were reviewed.The volume of serum tumor marker requests in our institution increased 2.25-fold over an 8-year period. In contrast, total laboratory test volume increased only 1.3-fold. Implementation of an on-site tumor marker laboratory using a consolidated platform (Elecsys 2010) decreased the average unit cost per test from $12.36/test to $6.79/test. This was accomplished by a combination of insourcing and by consolidation of multiple semi-automated instruments. Total savings were $219,972 per year, including direct budget reductions and cost avoidance due to volume increases. Various institutional practice standards were implemented, and turnaround time was markedly reduced for selected tests.Testing for serum tumor markers is becoming more established in large hospital laboratories. Increasing test volumes and the availability of consolidated instrument platforms with a broad menu of tumor marker tests (such as the Elecsys 2010) facilitates consolidation and insourcing of many tumor marker assays. This permits the laboratory to reduce unit and overall cost, to leverage excess capacity on existing instrumentation, and to create an opportunity to add value to the service by reducing turnaround time and implementing practice standards." @default.
