Abstract:
:With the development of rapid diagnostic tests in the clinical microbiology laboratory has come an awareness of the importance of rapid results reporting. Clearly, the potential clinical impact of rapid diagnostic tests is dependent on expeditious reporting. Traditional manual reporting systems are encumbered by the necessity of transcription of test information onto hard copy reports and then the subsequent distribution of such reports into the hands of the user. Laboratory computers when linked directly to CRTs located in nursing stations, ambulatory clinics, or physician's offices, both inside and outside of the hospital, permit essentially instantaneous transfer of test results from the laboratory to the clinician. Computer-assisted results reporting, while representing a significant advance over manual reporting systems is not, however, without problems. Concerns include validation of test information, authorization of users with access to test information, mechanical integrity, and cost. These issues notwithstanding, computerized results reporting will undoubtedly play a central role in optimizing the clinical impact of rapid diagnostic tests.
