The State of Toxicology Testing
Changes in reimbursement, an intensely competitive environment, and regulatory scrutiny have shifted the landscape of toxicology testing. Still, drug testing remains a critically important service for government agencies, employers, and healthcare providers (particularly in the addiction treatment and pain management space). The best run tox labs today have adjusted to new reimbursement levels, developed a broad client base, controlled operating expenses, and built a solid technology foundation.
How ApolloLIMS Helps
Toxicology is one of the market sectors where we got our start. We appreciate the importance of toxicology testing and fully understand a tox lab’s unique needs. And based on our long history in this space, we know that success ultimately depends on delivering accuracy, efficiency and compliance.
Additional Toxicology Sectors
Addiction Treatment
The addiction treatment market is growing rapidly. The utilization of lab testing to monitor substance use is a critical component of nearly every addiction treatment regimen and can significantly aid in the effectiveness of these programs. Lab tests provide valuable information to providers and help patients manage their addiction. But addiction treatment labs can quickly become overwhelmed with a high volume of tests, lack of an automated ordering process with associated clinics, reporting limitations, and a lack of integration with key third-party systems.
Pain Management
Chronic pain is a reality for many, and while opioids are commonly used to treat chronic pain, the opioid crisis has gained national prominence as a significant societal issue. The use of opioids must be very carefully administered by providers to avoid adverse health outcomes in patients.
Forensic Toxicology
Forensic toxicology is focused on delivering accurate measurements on a range of sample types to identify drugs or chemicals present in the body. This type of toxicology lab, often found in Medical Examiner offices, relies on the use of highly sophisticated instruments, chemical reagents and precise methodologies to determine the presence or absence of specific substances in a sample, usually provided from an autopsy or crime scene. The main goal is typically to determine the extent to which drugs / poisons may have contributed to impairment or death.
