Clinical Laboratory And Nursing Laboratory

The history of lab technicians can be dated back to the same time as medicine actually maybe even a little earlier. The ancient Greeks, “saw the value in examining body fluids to determine a disease”(Berger 1). Because they saw this is part of the reason that Lab Technician’s exist today. The beginning of this history can be dated back to “1658 with Jan Swammerdam’s discovery of red blood corpuscles”(Career Research). Coming along with another great accomplishment was, “Robert Koch and Louis Pasteur discovery in bacteriology in the 1870s”(Career Research). These discoveries have helped us overcome boundaries in the twentieth centuries and discover so much more than we already know. “In 1928 Alexander Fleming discovered Penicillin in his lab

When I arrive to the Trauma ICU 4800 unit, all of the nurses were already being followed by other students. The nurse in charge had me follow several different nurses, so I was able to observed several different patient cases. The first patient had received a triple bypass open-heart surgery. The patient had received a creatinine blood test. The patient had a dialysis machine next to them, which was used to function as the kidneys since the patient’s kidneys were not functioning correctly. Also, the patient’s body temperature was lowered from having a taken cool liquids so the nurses were keeping him warm with a bair hugger, which was a machine that helped regulate the patient's’ body temperatures.

The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) established a program to regulate any size and all “laboratories that test patient specimens to ensure the labs produce accurate and reliable test results”, CLIA was passed in 1988 to establish quality standards and regulations on all non-research laboratory test, and they must meet applicable Federal requirements and have a CLIA certificate to operate.

There are 9 types of health care facilities that are accredited by the Joint Commission. The Ambulatory Health Care accreditation, encompassing organizations and facilities that provide outpatient services of medical/dental nature as well as diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic services. Other types of facilities that are accredited are critical access hospitals, hospitals, laboratories, office-based surgical centers, and nursing care centers. There is also Home Care services, the Opioid Treatment Program, and the Behavioral Health Care Program. Critical Access Hospitals meet special requirements regarding patient beds and LOS. Hospitals that are accredited include general and specialty hospitals.

Now that I remain in the CLT program, it has actually opened my eyes to a complete different world of operating in the medical laboratory field. Having that chance to be more involved with the breakdown of the process of the clinical laboratory studies is astounding. I ‘am pleased to have prepared myself to travel beyond with a little in order to succeed with wealth of

Intensity: strength of contractions at their peak (measured by subjective description, palpation and timing of contractions by a health care provider and electronic monitoring by tocometer)

It is important as an APRN to understand the rules and regulations of laboratory processes to better provide accurate testing for patients and because it is federal law. After reading and researching on Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), I can see how it is important for a future nurse practitioner to have this knowledge. There is a process that a clinic is required to understanding to obtain the correct certificate for performing lab testing. There are five different types of certifications: certificate of waiver (CW), Certificate for Provider- performed Microscopy Procedures (PPMP), certificate of registration (COR), certificate of compliance (COC) and certificate of accreditation (COA). I see that the certificate of waiver

The College of American Pathologists or CAP is the accrediting organization for laboratory and testing personnel. CAP’s “accreditation process is so thorough, the Joint Commission [and CMS] accepts …their standards” in place of conducting their own survey of the hospital’s laboratory and personnel (Gartee, 2011, p. 47). This is because of the guidelines they follow to maintain their integrity and to remain the industry standard. In recent years, the “CAP [has] developed new check list” for continued improvements. Additionally, they are continuing to vet the requirements for the new next-generation sequencing or NGC-based test that is speeding laboratory procedures. So much so that the recent adoption of the new technology for clinical testing” was done prior to the new standards being approved (Aziz, et.al. 2015, p. 481).

1. Briefly describe your interest in the theme of this community. What experiences have led to your interest? (75 to 100 words) I am interested in the Nursing LLC at Florida State University because I am a pre-nursing major. I believe that being a part of the Nursing LLC will allow me to explore the major that I am interested in greater depth.

In conclusion, I feel that the states should have licensure for laboratory scientist if they choose to work in a clinical laboratory. The arguments for outweigh the arguments against state licensure as well as both ASCLS and ASCP are in support of such action. The laboratory field has a broad range of option for a laboratory scientist to choose with options in research, clinical or even forensic with each having a different impact on the public. The clinical laboratory has the most the most immediate impact on the health of people in the community making the people working in those laboratories responsible for accuracy and quality of the patient testing. I explained that difference between certification and licensure is that the licensure was

Journal article based on Lisa Epsioteo’s article “Hospital Labs: Behind the Scenes,” posted on 30 January 2015 from U.S News, which demonstrate the importance of lab tech duties like analyzing specimen for the patient safety. It gives basic ideology of lab tech work, also informs, and provides learning experience about covert scientist and phlebotomist working at their respective work

After discovering my passion for science and math, I pursue a career in Clinical Laboratory Science with enthusiasm. My desire to study this subject originates from the exciting and rapidly-moving subject area that is highly relevant to major issues facing society today. Clinical Laboratory Scientists play a crucial role in the healthcare field; in detection, diagnosis and treatment of disease in patients. My goal is to be involved in the latest advances in medical research and to constantly be expanding my knowledge about my field. On top of this goal, Clinical Laboratory Science remains a challenging, rewarding and inspiring topic that will motivate and shape my career for my entire life.

Lab Urinalysis – Laboratory urinalysis services are performed for screening and intervention purposes. This is aimed at helping the patient withstand urges to use drugs. Such monitoring also can provide early evidence of drug use so that the individual’s treatment plan can be properly adjusted.

Due to increasing competition in the field of medical testing it has become prudent for Laboratorio De Analisis Argentina (LAA) to evaluate its process and identify strengths and weaknesses to improve the operations of their laboratories. An in-depth investigation into day-to-day, step-by-step breakdown of activities has uncovered where, and how LAA can achieve efficient operations.

There are times where specialists require some assistance in discovering the particular issues and states of their patients. At the point when specialists need to be certain about what their patients' conditions are, they take body liquid or tissue tests from them and forward these examples to the pathology advisors.
