Practitioners and laboratories can devise better methods for monitoring comprehension of and compliance with the various components within the 11 steps of TTP, practitioners can use information contained in the serum drug concentration more expansively and effectively than is typical, laboratories can improve the application and reporting of serum drug concentrations and interpretation, and educators can teach students and practitioners the theory and application of Bayesian probability revision, test performance characteristics, and economic analyses necessary to make more effective use of TDM.
