COMPLETION
15. ANS:
efficacy
Rationale: This is the definition of efficacy; in other words, how effective is the treatment?
SHORT ANSWER
16. ANS:
One advantage may be that test results are available while the patient is still in the office, so
treatment may begin much faster. Another advantage may be the ability to rule out a diagnosis
quickly so that the health-care provider may research other alternatives for the patient’s treatment.
Another advantage may be cost for the patient; CLIA-waived tests may be cheaper than the
alternative testing performed at a large reference laboratory.
Rationale: If test results are available while the patient is still in the office, treatment may begin
much faster. If an incorrect diagnosis is quickly eliminated, the health-care provider may research
other alternatives for the patient’s treatment. The reduced cost for these testing procedures helps to
make them even more attractive for the physician office laboratory environment.
