The document provides an overview of medical laboratory technology and the role of medical laboratories in health care. It discusses:
1) What medical laboratory science is and how 85% of medical decisions are based on laboratory test results.
2) The types of laboratory tests performed on samples like blood and urine to diagnose, monitor, and treat disease.
3) The pivotal role medical laboratory services play in health care delivery through providing accurate information to treat patients, monitor diseases, and decide health priorities.
4) The structure of laboratory services which includes community, district, regional, and central public health laboratories that work together to support primary health care.
In the era of modern technology, health care delivery system involves so many different personnel and specialties that the caregiver must have an understanding and working knowledge of other professional endeavors, including the role of diagnostic evaluation.
Basically, laboratory and diagnostic tests are tools by and of themselves, they are not therapeutic.
In conjunction with a pertinent history and physical examination, these tests can confirm a diagnosis or provide valuable information about a patient status and response to therapy.
In addition to these, laboratory findings are essential for epidemiological surveillance and research purposes.
If the entire network of a laboratory service is to be effectively utilized and contribute to health care and disease prevention, every member of its work force need to:
Understand the role of the laboratory and its contribution to the nation’s health service;
Appreciate the need to involve all members in the provision of health service;
Follow professional ethics and code of conduct;
Experience job satisfaction and have professional loyalty.
Medical laboratory science is a complex field embracing a number of different disciplines such as
Microbiology,
Hematology,
Clinical Chemistry,
Urinalysis,
Immunology,
Serology,
Histopathology,
Immunohematology and
Molecular biology and others

7-2 Final Project Milestone Two: Healthcare Leadership Presentation
Introduction
In the current setting, healthcare facilities are faced with workplace hurdles such as the increasing demands of the access to health care. In this case, an appropriate clinical leadership is a critical skill to optimize effective management of the care in the healthcare setting. The significance of an active clinical guidance is to facilitate an extended quality of health care system that regularly offers innocuous as well as well-organized healthcare. As such, any health care institution should incorporate clinical leadership to the boldest extent. Also, all the obstacles that provide against effective clinical leadership will be looked. This strategy to overcome such barriers guarantees the quality of clinical leadership in the healthcare system. This paper will discuss the quality of clinical leadership in the healthcare system.
Overview of Microsystem
An overview of the microsystem involves my capacity to serve in the healthcare system as a cardiothoracic surgeon. As such, I attend to patients who suffer from cardiac failure. To achieve full capacity in my area of service, I developed a team that entails the physician assistant, cardiothoracic surgeon, percussionist, physician assistant, anesthesiologist, the scrub nurse as well as the primary care physician that plays a key role in the cardiac failure medication. There have been increased cases of heart failures and thus, schematic education is necessary to deal with the rampant and increasing cardiac failure. It also provided a key pathway to counter the knowledge gap and increase the limited cardiac diagnosis services in cardiac failure medication
Essentially, understanding the pathophysiology of cardiac failure is a broad course that tends to illustrate the causes of heart failure from mild to acute infection. The process uncovers the development of the cardiac failure and thus, it is essential for the clinical leaders to be well acquainted with this knowledge to prompt quality care on the disorder. In addition, the knowledge about the signs and symptoms of the cardiac failure is key as it influences the type of medication that is provided to the patients. Furthermore, the diagnostic tests, as well as the current evidence-based healthcare, should be highly pursued by the clinical leadership in order to determine the process of heart failure of the patient in the organization. In respect to this, the use of the electrocardiograph substantially helps in determining the heart rhythm problems. In line, the section provides alternatives medical therapies that play a vital role in the treatment and diagnosis of heart failure.
The microsystems in our cardiac diagnosis clinic involve patients who first encounter the scrub nurse who then plays a role of giving direction on the most appropriate centers where the operation of th ...

New practice approaches
An experience with new technology and better ways of dealing with burn cases, treatment is quite fast and easy! Unlike the traditional way of airway maintenance, the new way that follows the ATLS guidelines enables the nurse to have a definitive airway maintenance as well as ventilation monitoring.
Extraprofessional collaboration
The burn unit required a great deal of collaboration between different medical practitioners in order to achieve quick recovery and optimum treatment results. With the airway and c-spine protection, monitoring the heart rate and blood pressure would require different physicians to acquire optimum results.
Health care delivery and clinical systems
With the Airway with C-spine Protection, different procedures and systems collaborate together to produce the best treatment results. Assessment of breathing, circulation, disability and exposure worked well with the clinical system each stage was important in contributing to the greater good.
Ethical considerations in health care
When it comes to Airway with C-spine Protection, Improving access to care, Protecting patient privacy and confidentiality are paramount. Building and maintaining strong health care workforce, Marketing practices and Care quality helps the unit achieve quality care.
Population health concerns
In the Airway with C-spine Protection, the section has the mandate of providing quality and convenient care. These help to improve the workability of the hospital system in general.
The role of technology in improving health care outcomes
When accessing the Airway with C-spine Protection, use of technology proved to be important especially when inspecting for singed nasal, facial and eyebrow hairs.
Health policy
Definitely, health policies serve as important ways through which the burn unit could provide quality healthcare. I did notice this when it comes to ensuring that each patient gets the most out of treatment they undergo.
Leadership and economic models
At the burn unit, it is almost blatant that leaders are responsible and are economical in their decision making. This is evident by the efficient allocation of resources.
Health disparities
Different patients come with different conditions. However, it is the function of the nurses to do all they can to ensure that their patients get well.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
