thrombophilia work up

[NEMC]

Recently I am calculating how many redundent and inappropriate work up that our hospital have done by ordering unnecessary tests with thromboembolic episodes. Doc order the whole possible tests in the world, no matter when the patient has acute thrombosis or not, they still order protein C, S, antithrombin III, some even repeat another whole panel for sure within two weeks!

Is this that difficult for primary medicine team?
