Abstract
Improving the value of care with reduced cost without compromising the quality is utmost important in the modern era of medical practice. An attempt was made in the nursing facility to observe an outcome with a plan to implement in much larger scale in the larger facility in future. In the 7-month period of this ambi- directional study, the focus was on minimizing unnecessary daily laboratory orders and to observe the reduction in the cost without adverse effect on length of stay in the nursing facility and hospitalization from the nursing facility.
