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laboratory services has not evolved to take into account technology, market, and regulatory changes, and is now outdated.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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book strives to provide the basic fundamental background knowledge by which a learner can be introduced to these practices and to serve as a resource for laboratory personnel and building up of a concept. This book will also be helpful for health care providers. For well-established operations and for standards of accreditation of clinical laboratories is extremely involved in basic analysis, quality control, employee competencies, and cost-effective strategies of operation. The book contains chapters on1.Human anatomy and physiology2.Hematology and Blood Banking3.Clinical Pathology4.Medical BiochemistryHuman anatomy and physiology chapters serve the knowledge of the structure and function of a healthy human body and the changes which take place when disease interferes with normal processes. Hematology is a branch of science deals with study of blood, its components and changes it undergoes during illness. While blood banking is a science which deals with collecting, testing and transfusing blood and its products for replacement of lost blood. Clinical Pathology is a basic subject in laboratory science which deals with examination of various body fluids / Excreta for presence of multiple factors like chemical, biological and physical as cause or effect of illness. Biochemistry (medical) is a study of chemical components of human body. Estimation of chemical molecules is essential to know disease process at molecular level and thus biochemistry help us to identify abnormal function at earlier stage of diseases and it is also useful for prognostic purpose. The book can be considered as a source of information/ academic performance for students, and personnel's in the discipline of clinical pathology and laboratory medicine, and for physicians and laboratory practitioners. Color illustrations have been used throughout the book to accurately, realistically depict to provide clear image of subject. OBJECTIVES of the book: Students will learn to use common anatomy terms, identify various systems in Human Body and describe working of various systems in Human Body and OrgansThey'll learn about normal formation & function of various types of blood cells, coagulation mechanism & various factors that cause the significant changes in the no. of specific cells & related clinical conditions. Student will learn theoretical aspects of immuno-hematology and basic blood bank procedures.In clinical pathology, student will learn the normal composition of various body fluids & feces & also the changes in their composition in various clinical conditions.Medical Biochemistry strives to make understand about the normal chemical nature & chemical behavior of human system & how changes in these aspects lead to various clinical conditions.Application of the book: Understanding & getting familiarized with the various facts of Anatomy & physiology so as to acquire a strong foundation to apply these principles in advanced technology area.To develop skills of diagnostic study of blood and its components as well as to acquire the technique of blood collection, testing and its transfusion.To develop the pathological skills of examination of urine, stool, sputum, semen, CSF and fluid.Use skill of clinical biochemistry techniques for pathology tests and analyse the results and provide reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Medical Laboratory Technology, Second Edition provides information pertinent to medical laboratory technology. This book discusses the importance of laboratory technology in hospital practice. Organized into seven sections encompassing 33 chapters, this edition begins with an overview of the role of the medical technologist in the diagnosis of disease by the use of certain accepted laboratory methods. This text then explains the general types of glassware that is widely used in medical laboratories. Other chapters consider the main methods of estimating the sugar content of body fluids, methods in feces and gastric analysis, and microscopical and chemical examination of urine. This book discusses as well the microscopic examination of bacteria, which necessitates making smears and hanging-drop preparations on microscope slides. The final chapter deals with some aspects of elementary physiology. This book is a valuable resource for students and junior technicians, as well as for qualified technologists and medical students.

Download or read book Mass Spectrometry for the Clinical Laboratory written by Hari Nair and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass Spectrometry for the Clinical Laboratory is an accessible guide to mass spectrometry and the development, validation, and implementation of the most common assays seen in clinical labs. It provides readers with practical examples for assay development, and experimental design for validation to meet CLIA requirements, appropriate interference testing, measuring, validation of ion suppression/matrix effects, and quality control. These tools offer guidance on what type of instrumentation is optimal for each assay, what options are available, and the pros and cons of each. Readers will find a full set of tools that are either directly related to the assay they want to adopt or for an analogous assay they could use as an example. Written by expert users of the most common assays found in a clinical laboratory (clinical chemists, toxicologists, and clinical pathologists practicing mass spectrometry), the book lays out how experts in the field have chosen their mass spectrometers, purchased, installed, validated, and brought them on line for routine testing. The early chapters of the book covers what the practitioners have learned from years of experience, the challenges they have faced, and their recommendations on how to build and validate assays to avoid problems. These chapters also include recommendations for maintaining continuity of quality in testing. The later parts of the book focuses on specific types of assays (therapeutic drugs, Vitamin D, hormones, etc.). Each chapter in this section has been written by an expert practitioner of an assay that is currently running in his or her clinical lab. Provides readers with the keys to choosing, installing, and validating a mass spectrometry platform Offers tools to evaluate, validate, and troubleshoot the most common assays seen in clinical pathology labs Explains validation, ion suppression, interference testing, and quality control design to the detail that is required for implementation in the lab
