Last week, we visited with representatives at Capitol Hill to discuss some of ADLM’s most pressing advocacy initiatives, including:

• The need for reliable pediatric reference intervals, which help healthcare professionals define what’s “normal” in lab results.
• Harmonization of clinical laboratory test results, which would ensure uniform measurement procedures and aid in accurate diagnosis and treatment.
• Artificial intelligence health tools policy that works with existing frameworks which already protect patients and ensure laboratory quality.

On January 1, 2026, Ian Young became the new editor in chief of ADLM’s The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine.

In the March/April edition of Clinical Laboratory News, he shares the path he took into clinical chemistry, the trends he sees in laboratory medicine, and how he’s working to ensure the success of the journal’s new gold open access model.

Under this model, journal content is free to read and reuse at the time of publication. The content also still undergoes the same rigorous peer-review and quality-assurance processes as traditional subscription-based academic journals.

We recently submitted our testimony to the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health & Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies outlining our fiscal year 2027 funding priorities to strengthen the quality of clinical testing and improve patient outcomes.

We urge Congress to support two key initiatives vital to this cause:

• Improving pediatric reference intervals (PRIs) – we request $10 million for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to better the quality of PRIs used by health practitioners to diagnose, monitor, and treat children.

• Harmonizing laboratory test results – we also request an additional $7.2 million for the CDC to continue its efforts to harmonize the reporting of clinical laboratory test results, which helps provide more consistent, cost-effective healthcare.

Laboratory tests provide healthcare professionals with necessary objective data to evaluate the health status of children and adolescents.

Unfortunately, providers often lack access to the most accurate information needed to interpret this data and ensure that young patients receive the best care possible. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) can address this issue if Congress grants them $10 million.

Along with many other organizations, we’re asking Congress to add this funding to the CDC’s fiscal year 2027 budget.
