Subject: CRP protocols
Dear Mailbase coleagues,
We have resisted adding CRP to our repertoire, hiding behind our
colleagues in Immunology who currently run it, but not out of hours or
at weekends. Now however, we are being asked to put it on our main
chemistry analysers in order for it to be available 24/7. As we can
foresee a huge increase in work blowing a 50K hole in our budget
(clinical budgeting having been abandoned by our Trust who caved in to
clinicans' pressure as they didn't want to pay for their profligate
requesting and it is easier to squash a few grumpy pathologists than
take on all the clinicians who want everything yesterday in order to
meet meaningless targets), we are going to have to try to get clinicans
to agree to voluntarily limit their requesting. Has anybody had any
success with this? Does anybody have anything remotely resembing a
protocol for use of CRP that actually works even part of the time?
best wishes,
Trevor
