Sabi nga ng CDC, 70% of the medical decisions make by the physicians depends or based on the laboratory results performed by the laboratory professionals. Based from that fact, we can see how important our role as medtects is. We need to always make sure that the test or procedures we perform is precise and accurate from checking the request forms, specimen collection, doing the procedures, until the release of laboratory results, and reporting it to the physician. We can do these by undergoing proper training especially in terms of quality assurance, proper quality management and control.]]> 2022-04-08 08:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136028927 KENNETH RALPH M. FRANCISCO; CODE(5138) https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136031519 As I understand it, in order to be useful in a clinical or public health situation, laboratory results must be as accurate as feasible, all parts of laboratory operations must be dependable, and reporting must be timely. There is always a degree of inaccuracy when taking measurements. In addition, the results of clinical laboratory tests are a critical component of diagnosis, monitoring, and screening. Laboratory results account for 80% of diagnosis choices, and laboratory analyses are increasingly requested. As a result, a large amount of data is presented, and physician familiarity with the tests and interpretation of the results is essential for patient care and safety. Lastly, Because clinical decision-making is tailored to a correct understanding of the patient's health problem when a diagnosis is accurate and made in a timely manner, a patient has the best chance for a positive health outcome.]]> 2022-04-08 08:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136031519 Olea Lorissa B. Graneta https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136032970  As medical technologists, we must give or produce reliable results for the diagnosis of patients. Clinical Chemistry is one of the sections of the laboratory that caters to body fluid specimens of patients, such as blood, urine, sputum, etc. These specimens will undergo different tests that are dependent on the test order of the physician. In performing the test, a medical technologist must ensure reliability, most importantly in the pre-analytical phase, analytical phase, and post-analytical phase.]]> 2022-04-08 08:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136032970 Conie Rose Angowan https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136037955 I agree that one of the many values of clinical laboratory service is based on its ability to provide reliable, accurate test results and optimal test information, however,  I think the part of the health care worker also is a big part and plays a very important role in order to obtain reliable, accurate test results and optimal test information for patient management. the health care workers in and out of the laboratory must work together in order to obtain quality results. ]]> 2022-04-08 08:48:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136037955 Mark Dave B.

If a patient submits to lab testing on a regular basis, doctors may be able to respond quickly with preventative therapy. Lab testing is one of the first lines of defense for a patient's overall health. Laboratory results account for 60 to 70 percent of all choices on a patient's diagnosis, treatment, hospital admission, and discharge, and these tests determine so much of a patient's experience in the health care business. 
Most laboratory tests are performed by medical laboratory scientists, or medical technologists. These professionals interpret test results such as blood and urine testing and communicate them to doctors. Chemical, biochemical, hematological, immunologic, microscopic, and bacteriological tests all require good analytical and independent judgment. All of these duties make them key elements in the discretion and process of accurate lab results. ]]> 2022-04-08 08:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136042581 https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136043064 ALTHEA ICHABEL V.

Medical laboratory testing is frequently valued based on its cost, yet the clinical advantages of these tests are just as essential. Laboratory testing is widely recognized as playing a role in clinical decision-making and, as a result, in deciding clinical outcome. As a result, the importance of laboratory testing should be examined in terms of its impact on positive behaviors and outcomes. This encompasses both the asking phase of selecting tests that will influence clinical decision-making as well as the reporting phase of informing clinical judgments and actions. If clinical decision support tools and software are aimed at facilitating clinical decisions where there is either evidence or accepted consensus, they can improve the usefulness of medical laboratory tests. Quality, clinical efficacy and effectiveness, patient-centeredness, patient satisfaction, timeliness, clinical efficiency, cost effectiveness, productivity affordability, and cost are all concepts used to describe value. Disease prevention, early detection, establishing an accurate diagnosis, selecting the right treatment, avoiding delays in treatment, facilitating recovery, reducing disability, preventing relapse or retarding disease progression, and reducing the need for long-term care should all be considered when determining laboratory value. These health goals are also the primary goals of laboratory testing since laboratory testing can help guide each of these clinical decision points.]]> 2022-04-08 08:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136046638 Navarro, Xyrelle S. CC1 Lec (5138) https://padlet.com/ronniecdumale/cc1_5138/wish/2136050660 Medical technologists are professionals who work in the hospital laboratory, performing a wide range of tests. Doctors make many of their decisions about diagnosis and treatment of disease based on laboratory test results. It is the responsibility of the medical technologist to provide accurate and precise data. Because they may hold life and death in their hands, the medical technologist must know when results are incorrect and need to be rechecked. 
At this point, laboratories must perform routine quality control tests, usually every day, and in many cases, several times a day. Quality control tests usually include normal and abnormal samples to ensure that the equipment, the technologist, and the reagents used in the test are performing to established standards. In addition, laboratories must participate in proficiency testing programs in addition to quality control testing. The laboratory must get the right result in order to be allowed to continue to test patient samples. 
Moreover, laboratories must demonstrate that they have written policies and procedures in place to specifically document how the sample is collected, transported, evaluated, and reported in an appropriate manner.
These requirements ensure that the tests performed by clinical laboratories for patient care will generate results that are reproducible and can be trusted.

With that, the main objective then of the clinical laboratory is to provide highly reliable and accurate laboratory data or results to help with the said diagnosis and treatment. Accordingly, medical laboratory technologists are responsible in the management of this laboratory in which they are the ones who perform a wide range of tests such as measuring many different proteins and electrolytes, as well as drug levels which will be used to monitor patient therapy, among others. In the role we play, accuracy and reliability should be utmost and highly attained as the tests we run are the basis for diagnosing and treating the patient.

Therefore, it must be reliable and accurate because if it is not reliable and accurate, it has no value, and it is a waste of time to get the test results if they are not right. Unreliable and inaccurate test results may also put a patient's health at risk. Therefore, as a future medical technologist, I must ensure that my tests are reliable and accurate from collecting the specimen, processing, labeling, and testing. I am responsible for helping the physicians diagnose a patient's disease, so a small mistake or irresponsibility that I make can have a great impact on a patient's health.
