Abstract

The study establishes whether rates of pathology test ordering by general practitioners (GPs) in practices co-located with pathology collection centers (PCCs) are higher than those in practices located away from PCCs. Findings indicate pathology test-ordering rates are not higher in practices co-located with PCCs.
