<ul><li>Ordering a minimal subset of lab tests for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) can be challenging.</li><li>A novel method called ExOSITO has been developed, which combines off-policy learning with privileged information to identify the optimal set of ICU lab tests to order.</li><li>ExOSITO creates an interpretable assistive tool for clinicians to order lab tests by considering both the observed and predicted future status of each patient.</li><li>The learned policy function provides interpretable clinical information and reduces costs without omitting any vital lab orders, outperforming both a physician's policy and prior approaches to this practical problem.</li></ul>
