With
the changes and evolution in the medical and clinical landscape,
there came upon a well defined role for supervisors, directors,
technologists, consultants in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement
Amendment of 1988. This act got enforced in order to indicate the
training, qualifications and the certifications that might be
essential for any more willing to make a career in the domain of
bio-clinical laboratory. However, there have been several signs that
the need for qualification as a laboratory professional in the
forthcoming days might be minimized to a stage that will be unlikely
to commensurate with the high - end practice.
Though
this remains, just an observations eminent clinical research
organization (CRO) in India has been focusing on improving the
conditions of their bio-clinical laboratories, that in most cases
acts as a Central Laboratory. It forms the very nucleus of medical
studies, clinical
trial,
experiments and multiple external proficiency testing programs with
national and global laboratories to retain excellent levels of
quality control.
Standard
to high-end bio clinical laboratories of famous CRO’s are generally
equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, a wide selection of
high-end devices and immaculate logistics. This apart, the most
crucial element in a bio clinical laboratory are its well trained and
experienced medical technicians, who are supported by innovative
technologies in the new age Laboratory Information Management Systems
(LIMS) for transferring online data, guaranteeing shorter turnaround
time with high levels of quality and reliable services.
Simultaneously, the bio clinical
laboratories
today
are completely equipped to conduct a wide range of investigations
that comprise the following:
- Hematology
- Urine Analysis
- Coagulation Studies
- Biochemistry
- Clinical Pathology
- Endocrinology
- Serology
- Inflammatory/Immune markers
- Infectious Disease Markers
- Therapeutic Drug Monitoring
- Tumor Markers
- Lipid Profile
- Liver Function Test
- Anemia Profile
- Renal Profile
- Diabetic Profile
- Biomarkers
- Capabilities for other tests
The
rise of health care expenses over the past few years has been the
very basis of high revenue for both medical institution and bio
clinical laboratories. While the state of reimbursement retained a
sufficient differential over the operating expenses, the situation
was one embraced by hospital administration and by operators of
independent bio clinical laboratories. On the other hand the
increasing percentage of human ailments propelled the medical
professionals and institutes to bring about radical changes in the
bio clinical laboratories so that it can help in discovering
innovative treatment methods and come up with better drug development
processes.
