Case studies to practice problem solving in the coagulation laboratory will be presented during this webinar. It will review pre-analytical issues impacting results as well as testing patterns that can be both cost effective while optimizing patient outcomes. Coagulation disorders and dedicated assays can be complex for newcomers and the best results are obtained when testing is approached in a logical, step by step manner. Understanding the importance of accurate screening results in the diagnosis and management of patients will only improve the information the laboratory provides to clinicians.

Learning objectives:

•  Identify proper testing to aid in the diagnosis of bleeding or clotting disorders
•  Perform best coagulation practices to help maximize negative outcomes while minimizing costs
•  Enhance problem solving skills by presentation of applicable case studies
