Abstract
The invention provides systems and methods for monitoring and/or reporting laboratory data. One or more laboratory facility may communicate with a data management center. Medical laboratory data, which may include renal data, may be provided to the data management center. In some instances, some of the data from a laboratory facility may be compared to a reference value, or a goal to assess the performance of the laboratory facility. Data may be displayed to a user of the system in a report. Financial tools may also be provided to assess costs associated with bundling various laboratory tests.
