Office-Based Lab (OBL) Handbook
Society for Vascular Surgery Office-Based Lab (OBL) Handbook Introduction
Society for Vascular Surgery Office-Based Lab (OBL) Handbook Introduction
Foreward - Anil Hingorani, MD, DFSVS
Although these changes are ongoing, there is actually very little guidance available on how to start or maintain an OBL. The SVS Sub-Section on Outpatient and Office Vascular Care developed this handbook to assist with these issues. The authors are leaders in this field and have used a variety of techniques and styles to write short and direct-to-the-point chapters, each addressing a specific focus. This handbook is meant to be a live document that will be revised as needed. The SVS hopes you find the handbook useful.
