Providing Timely Data
on Drug Use Trends
As part of our commitment to clinical excellence, we conduct ongoing evaluation of our drug test results (using Intellium℠) with the goal of providing timely information to help improve the efficient use of available resources and ultimately curb the significant impact of drug overdose deaths. Additionally, our analysis of pharmacogenetic test results continues to reveal important findings with regard to the impact and frequency of variation in drug response genes in the United States.
