Doctors choose Quest Diagnostics ...
... because it matters.
It matters to their patients' health, because doctors make about 70% of their healthcare decisions based on lab results.
And doctors trust Quest Diagnostics far more often than any other laboratory. Quest Diagnostics touches the lives of patients 145 million times a year.
Here are some reasons why:
Quest Diagnostics has 500 M.D. and Ph.D. specialists on staff to oversee, interpret and consult with doctors about rare or unusual test results.
Quest Diagnostics performs more routine and specialized tests than any laboratory.
Quest Diagnostics is an innovation leader.
- We recently developed Leumeta, a blood-based test for leukemia and lymphoma that can replace painful bone marrow biopsies.
- We offer a test to assist physicians in locating cancers of unknown primary origin, which is especially important for patients with cancers that have metastasized.
- Our InSure colorectal cancer-screening test is more patient friendly and easy to use, making it more likely to be completed.
- Our ImmunoCAP® test requires only a single blood sample to pinpoint hundreds of allergies replacing older, painful scratch tests.
- Our Focus Diagnostics business was first to introduce numerous new assays for infectious diseases, including diagnostic tests for Lyme disease, West Nile Virus and SARS.
Quest Diagnostics evaluates approximately 14 million Pap slides a year as well as a full range of tests for HPV.
Quest Diagnostics meets and often exceeds the privacy and security requirements of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and strictly limits access to confidential patient information.
Quest Diagnostics performs most routine testing overnight and delivers results to physicians the next morning.
Quest Diagnostics' Care 360 Physicians Portal helps doctors improve their workflow and take care of patients by enabling them to review lab results electronically, view patient prescription information and send prescriptions for drugs to nearly every pharmacy in the country in a matter of seconds.
Quest Diagnostics is the industry leader in genetic testing and has a national network of genetic counselors that work directly with doctors in test selection and result interpretation.
