Diagnostic Management Team

The University of Texas Medical Branch has teams of experts, which includes laboratory directors and medical technologists, Pathologists, Radiologists, Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Surgeons and Internal Medicine to do more than throw laboratory test results over the wall at the ordering clinician. The diagnostic management teams (DMT) at UTMB allow physicians to order tests by requesting an evaluation of the abnormal screening test or a clinical sign or symptom. The DMT produces an expert-driven, patient-specific narrative not only for cases in which one is requested, but for all cases in multiple areas of laboratory medicine and anatomic pathology.
