Describe the services of an organizational ethics program and how to utilize and participate in these services.

Compare and contrast the ethical and legal issues associated with health care delivery and the relationship/impact on diagnostic testing.

Communicate in a competent manner with patients, inter-professional healthcare team and other associated individuals.

Evaluate physical assessment and patient history in relationship to the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phases of diagnostic testing.

Identify health informatics systems and processes that relate to the delivery of clinical laboratory diagnosis and optimal utilization of services.

Via simulated case scenarios, and directed questions, provide consultative services in both oral and written format to patients, clinicians and healthcare providers related to quality utilization of laboratory services, including pre-analytic issues of laboratory testing and post-analytic interpretation.
