Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shortage of Medical Laboratory Professionals (MLP) has been an ongoing problem for over a decade, primarily due to areas of discontent of MLP. Initiatives to improve these problematic areas of discontent have been and continue to be important to the field of medical laboratory science in regard to recruiting and retaining these essential professionals. Previous research has uncovered significant factors associated with discontent including; salary levels, lack of advancement, public awareness and esteem. This study explores the issues of awareness, respect, and recognition of the MLP within the context of the healthcare community, the impact on professional status among other healthcare professionals and the association with career satisfaction and professional engagement. This longitudinal survey presents data from samples of laboratory professionals collected both prior to the COVID-19 pandemic (n= 371) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (n=380). Results of the current study indicate that more than half of respondents do not feel respected by other healthcare professionals and more than 90% indicated that other healthcare professionals do not understand the educational requirements and level of responsibility of the MLP. Additional analysis reveals that perceived lack of respect and understanding by members of other healthcare professions have a statistically significant impact on the career satisfaction of MLP. The current study highlights the need to address awareness, respect, and understanding of the valuable contribution of the MLP, specifically, among other healthcare professionals. The implication of creating change related to respect, recognition, and awareness within the healthcare community is discussed as a means of developing positive professional identity and status and improving recruitment and retention of vital medical laboratory professionals.
Download or read book Medicare Laboratory Payment Policy written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-12-04 with total page 261 pages. 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.
