Download or read book Health Laboratory Services in Support of Primary Health Care in Developing Countries written by K. B. Sharma and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 1994 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed practical guide to the development of high-quality national health laboratory services in South-East Asian countries. In view of the frequent absence of laboratory-based information at the primary health care level, the book gives particular attention to the development of peripheral laboratories as a means of supporting better patient management and better disease surveillance. The book also issues abundant advice on how to take full advantage, in peripheral as well as more sophisticated laboratories, of the many new rapid tests for use in the diagnosis of infectious diseases and in clinical chemistry and pathology. Now in its second edition, the book has been substantially revised and expanded to reflect the latest advances in these tests. New chapters also respond to the alarming emergence or re-emergence of several infectious diseases, and greatly improved methods for quality assurance in laboratory medicine. Throughout, tables, flowcharts, lists of do's and don'ts, and step-by-step instructions are used to enforce the book's value as a practical tool. The book, which is addressed to health planners and other decision-makers, has eight chapters presented in four parts. Part one provides guidelines for the establishment and development of national health laboratory services capable of meeting all the needs of curative and preventive medicine. Chapters cover the functions, management, staffing, and financing of services, and describe measures, such as the provision of manuals and the standardization of techniques, that contribute to the successful operation of services. Part two, on appropriate technology, presents detailed advice that can help health planners decide when to use the new rapid diagnostic tests, which have become increasingly sensitive, field-friendly, and affordable, and when to rely on conventional culture methods. The third and most extensive part provides a detailed guide to the methodology of quality assurance in clinical chemistry, microbiology, haematology, and blood banks. In response to the growing importance of quality assurance in South-East Asia, chapters also provide guidelines that can be used in the formal inspection and accreditation of laboratories. The final part deals with biosafety in laboratories, giving particular attention to measures for protecting staff from infection with HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and several other emerging or re-emerging diseases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical laboratory tests play an integral role in helping physicians diagnose and treat patients. New developments in laboratory technology offer the prospect of improvements in diagnosis and care, but will place an increased burden on the payment system. Medicare, the federal program providing coverage of health-care services for the elderly and disabled, is the largest payer of clinical laboratory services. Originally designed in the early 1980s, Medicare's payment policy methodology for outpatient laboratory services has not evolved to take into account technology, market, and regulatory changes, and is now outdated. This report examines the current Medicare payment methodology for outpatient clinical laboratory services in the context of environmental and technological trends, evaluates payment policy alternatives, and makes recommendations to improve the system.

Download or read book Improving Diagnosis in Health Care written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-12-29 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting the right diagnosis is a key aspect of health care - it provides an explanation of a patient's health problem and informs subsequent health care decisions. The diagnostic process is a complex, collaborative activity that involves clinical reasoning and information gathering to determine a patient's health problem. According to Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, diagnostic errors-inaccurate or delayed diagnoses-persist throughout all settings of care and continue to harm an unacceptable number of patients. It is likely that most people will experience at least one diagnostic error in their lifetime, sometimes with devastating consequences. Diagnostic errors may cause harm to patients by preventing or delaying appropriate treatment, providing unnecessary or harmful treatment, or resulting in psychological or financial repercussions. The committee concluded that improving the diagnostic process is not only possible, but also represents a moral, professional, and public health imperative. Improving Diagnosis in Health Care, a continuation of the landmark Institute of Medicine reports To Err Is Human (2000) and Crossing the Quality Chasm (2001), finds that diagnosis-and, in particular, the occurrence of diagnostic errorsâ€"has been largely unappreciated in efforts to improve the quality and safety of health care. Without a dedicated focus on improving diagnosis, diagnostic errors will likely worsen as the delivery of health care and the diagnostic process continue to increase in complexity. Just as the diagnostic process is a collaborative activity, improving diagnosis will require collaboration and a widespread commitment to change among health care professionals, health care organizations, patients and their families, researchers, and policy makers. The recommendations of Improving Diagnosis in Health Care contribute to the growing momentum for change in this crucial area of health care quality and safety.

Download or read book Lab Literacy for Doctors written by Christopher Naugler, MD, FRCPC and published by Brush Education. This book was released on 2014-10-13 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lab Literacy for Doctors helps you make quick and efficient decisions about the right tests for typical clinical situations, thereby improving patient care. In a study published by the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine (2014-03-01), primary care physicians reported that 15% of the time they are unsure about ordering lab tests and 8% of the time they are unsure about interpreting the results. This raises concerns about the need for more efficient and cost-effective lab test utilization. Lab Literacy for Doctors addresses these concerns in a practical, up-to-date, and easy-to-use format. Refer to this essential guide for: A quick index summarizing the clinical utility of common tests. Advice and information on lab errors, false positives and negatives, and blood and tissue collection. Sections on dermatology, ENT and respiratory system, endocrine system, fatigue, GI and hepatic system, gynecology and pregnancy, routine screening, and more.
