Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
The concept of laboratory formularies is closely linked with the management of laboratory test utilization. Creating laboratory formularies-lists of tests used in the hospital laboratory and/or approved for sending to reference laboratories together with technical details and ordering instructions for each test-is the essential first step in utilization management. We explain the major differences between in-house and reference laboratory formularies. Based on several years of experience with an actively maintained laboratory formulary at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, we describe the process of establishing the formulary, categorizing tests, and reviewing the test requests. Finally, we emphasize the need for close collaboration with clinicians and for frequent reviews of both the in-house formulary and, in particular, the reference test formulary in the rapidly developing areas of laboratory diagnostics.
