[Acquisition of evidence and facts for a consulting service in the department of clinical laboratory to support effective usage of laboratory tests].
We are developing an integrated laboratory information database to share the evidences and facts with clinicians for effective application of diagnostic laboratory tests for the care of individual patients. It includes high quality evidence acquired from the clinical trials and systematic reviews as well as basic information about the analytical method, related disorders and so on of each laboratory test. We should also have the skills to appropriately obtain information from articles about relevant subjects and obtain the original facts from the laboratory database combined with the database from the department of medical records to review diagnostic data of individual cases. These strategies to acquire and accumulate those kinds of knowledge and information are essential for the management of a consulting service room as part of the clinical laboratory department. We must contribute to the improvement of clinical diagnoses and treatments, and serve as professional consultants with the expertise.
