This book was released on 2013 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 130+ page study is based on data from more than 20 major biological or medical laboratories connected to major universities, private pharmaceutical or biotech firms and other organizations that conduct advanced biological or medical research. The study looks closely at how key lab procedures are handled, in-house or outsourced, for gene sequencing, laboratory animal management, DNA preparation and pathological analysis. The study gives detailed data on budgets, equipment spending, spending on lab animals, materials spending, overhead spending and other spending categories. It also looks at the outlook for lab funding, from the parent institution, and from internal and external grant sources. This exhaustive study also examines issues such as: centralized vs. localized purchasing, use of consortia, level of cooperation with the parent institution and other laboratories. It presents data on the ratio of scientists to lab technicians and other support personnel, and discusses the degree to which scientists or administrators control lab hiring. Other issues discussed in detail include: personnel training, equipment installation, billing and invoicing, number and quality of meetings of lab personnel, use of and funds for laboratory management systems and other software and hardware, trends in experiment documentation, policies on environmental and personal safety, and much more of interest to individuals that work in, oversee or provide critical products or services to medical or biological research laboratories in academia, industry and elsewhere.

Download or read book Evolution of Translational Omics written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-09-13 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technologies collectively called omics enable simultaneous measurement of an enormous number of biomolecules; for example, genomics investigates thousands of DNA sequences, and proteomics examines large numbers of proteins. Scientists are using these technologies to develop innovative tests to detect disease and to predict a patient's likelihood of responding to specific drugs. Following a recent case involving premature use of omics-based tests in cancer clinical trials at Duke University, the NCI requested that the IOM establish a committee to recommend ways to strengthen omics-based test development and evaluation. This report identifies best practices to enhance development, evaluation, and translation of omics-based tests while simultaneously reinforcing steps to ensure that these tests are appropriately assessed for scientific validity before they are used to guide patient treatment in clinical trials.

Download or read book Clinical Laboratory Management written by Lynne Shore Garcia and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 821 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apply the principles of management in a clinical setting with this vital guide Managerial expertise is increasingly essential to the practice of medicine. It's no longer possible for laboratory directors or heads of clinical practice to grasp only the principles of medicine and pathology; it's now more necessary than ever that they be versed in fiscal management, patient care testing, quality assurance, and many other potential areas of expertise. Recent changes to the practice of medicine driven by the COVID-19 pandemic have only rendered this need more urgent. Clinical Laboratory Management provides a practical, comprehensive introduction to this body of expertise for practitioners who find themselves in supervisory positions. Beginning with an overview of management principles and their clinical applications, it assesses in detail the challenges facing clinical laboratories and the best practices for meeting them. Now fully updated to reflect the latest contributions from both business and medicine, it's an indispensable tool in a changing clinical world. Readers of the third edition of Clinical Laboratory Management will also find: Updates reflecting the lessons and transformations brought about by COVID-19 Detailed discussion of topics including point-of-care testing, information systems, reimbursement compliance, and more Practical examples and summary tables throughout Clinical Laboratory Management is ideal for laboratory directors, chief technologists, healthcare administrators, and trainees for leadership positions.

Download or read book Laboratory Quality Management System written by World Health Organization and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving, maintaining and improving accuracy, timeliness and reliability are major challenges for health laboratories. Countries worldwide committed themselves to build national capacities for the detection of, and response to, public health events of international concern when they decided to engage in the International Health Regulations implementation process. Only sound management of quality in health laboratories will enable countries to produce test results that the international community will trust in cases of international emergency. This handbook was developed through collaboration between the WHO Lyon Office for National Epidemic Preparedness and Response, the United States of America Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Laboratory Systems, and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). It is based on training sessions and modules provided by the CDC and WHO in more than 25 countries, and on guidelines for implementation of ISO 15189 in diagnostic laboratories, developed by CLSI. This handbook is intended to provide a comprehensive reference on Laboratory Quality Management System for all stakeholders in health laboratory processes, from management, to administration, to bench-work laboratorians. This handbook covers topics that are essential for quality management of a public health or clinical laboratory. They are based on both ISO 15189 and CLSI GP26-A3 documents. Each topic is discussed in a separate chapter. The chapters follow the framework developed by CLSI and are organized as the "12 Quality System Essentials".

Download or read book Returning Individual Research Results to Participants written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-09-23 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When is it appropriate to return individual research results to participants? The immense interest in this question has been fostered by the growing movement toward greater transparency and participant engagement in the research enterprise. Yet, the risks of returning individual research resultsâ€"such as results with unknown validityâ€"and the associated burdens on the research enterprise are competing considerations. Returning Individual Research Results to Participants reviews the current evidence on the benefits, harms, and costs of returning individual research results, while also considering the ethical, social, operational, and regulatory aspects of the practice. This report includes 12 recommendations directed to various stakeholdersâ€"investigators, sponsors, research institutions, institutional review boards (IRBs), regulators, and participantsâ€"and are designed to help (1) support decision making regarding the return of results on a study-by-study basis, (2) promote high-quality individual research results, (3) foster participant understanding of individual research results, and (4) revise and harmonize current regulations.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) mission is to provide reliable and impartial scientific information to understand Earth, minimize loss of life and property from natural disasters, and manage water, biological, energy, and mineral resources. Data collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination are central to everything the USGS does. Among other activities, the USGS operates some 250 laboratories across the country to analyze physical and biological samples, including water, sediment, rock, plants, invertebrates, fish, and wildlife. The data generated in the laboratories help answer pressing scientific and societal questions or support regulation, resource management, or commercial applications. At the request of the USGS, this study reviews a representative sample of USGS laboratories to examine quality management systems and other approaches for assuring the quality of laboratory results and recommends best practices and procedures for USGS laboratories.
