Abstract
This practice parameter, developed by the Practice Parameters and Outcomes Measurement Committee of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP), is a guideline for the development of reasonable stat lists. Stat testing lists vary according to practice setting. Furthermore, although stat lists exist, extenuating clinical circumstances may warrant performing a test stat that is otherwise considered routine. Successful development of a stat testing list requires organizations to take an interdisciplinary approach, focusing on clinical and operational considerations of both the care provider and the clinical laboratory.
