A lot of people strive to make their microbiology laboratory "error free". Whilst this could be said to be an admirable goal, maybe we need to think about what we wish for a little further.. A prog...

Alfredo Corell's curator insight, November 22, 2013 5:15 AM

The same applies for an Immunology lab.

The post is quite interesting, pointing out crucial aspects of errors at the lab.

External Proficiency Testing is just one of the tools for avoiding some error sources

 

"So maybe the next time your boss comes to you and says “Congratulations, so far this year we have had no errors, and no complaints from laboratory users”, maybe the response should be “So what are we doing wrong?….”

Direct-to-consumer laboratory testing (DTCT): challenges and implications for specialists in laboratory medicine

Direct-to-consumer laboratory testing (DTCT): challenges and implications for specialists in laboratory medicine | Laboratory Medicine | Scoop.it
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) testing is a powerful tool for medical diagnosis, and patients‘ safety is guaranteed by a complex system of personnel qualification of the specialist in laboratory medicine, of process control, and legal restrictions in healthcare, most of them under national regulation. Direct-to-consumer laboratory testing (DTCT) is testing ordered by the consumer and performed either by the consumer at home or analysis of self-collected samples in a laboratory. However, since DTCT are not always subject to effective competent authority oversight, DTCT may pose risks to lay persons using and relying on it for healthcare decision-making. Laboratory medicine specialists should be very cautious when new DTCTs are introduced. As qualified professionals, they should feel obliged to warn and educate patients and the public about the risks of inappropriate and harmful DTCT.

Direct-to-consumer testing – benefits for consumers, people with disease and public health

Direct-to-consumer testing – benefits for consumers, people with disease and public health | Laboratory Medicine | Scoop.it
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) tests can be defined as any in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) test or, more broadly, any medical test using an IVD or medical device, that is marketed directly to consumers without involvement of a health care provider (HCP). Examples are pregnancy tests, alcohol breath tests, blood pressure measurements (medical device), coagulation tests (INR), self-monitoring of blood glucose, continuous glucose monitoring (medical device), HIV tests, HPV tests, SARS-CoV-2 antigen tests, or genetic tests. DTC tests fulfil various customer needs such as making rapid decisions (e.g. glucose monitoring for insulin dosing, SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, hormone test identifying fertile days, alcohol test), monitoring chronic conditions between consultations (e.g. diabetes, lipidaemia, hypertension), saving time and reducing consultations (e.g. INR, SARS-CoV-2 antigen test, blood pressure monitoring), screening for disease when no symptoms are present (e.g. occult blood, cholesterol, triglycerides, SARS-CoV2 antigen test), or maintaining privacy (e.g. pregnancy test, HIV test, HPV test, certain genetic tests). Further, DTC tests can reduce cost and expand access to care in countries with limited resources and can support healthcare systems in extraordinary circumstances such as a pandemic. Valid concerns about DTC testing need to be described, addressed and resolved with the help of authorities and regulators in collaboration with HCP and should not detract from the advantages DTC tests can provide. HCP should play a more prominent role in educating the public through mass media and social media on the proper use of DTC tests and help to pinpoint problem areas.
