interpretation of ana indirect immunofluorescence test outside the darkroom using nova view compared to manual microscopy
Clinical & Developmental Immunology, 2014Co-Authors: Susan S Copple, Troy D Jaskowski, Rashelle Giles, Harry R HillAbstract:Objective. To evaluate NOVA View with focus on reading archived images versus microscope based manual interpretation of ANA HEp-2 slides by an experienced, certified Medical Technologist. Methods. 369 well defined sera from: 44 rheumatoid arthritis, 50 systemic lupus erythematosus, 35 scleroderma, 19 Sjogren’s syndrome, and 10 polymyositis patients as well as 99 healthy controls were examined. In addition, 12 defined sera from the Centers for Disease Control and 100 random patient sera sent to ARUP Laboratories for ANA HEp-2 IIF testing were included. Samples were read using the archived images on NOVA View and compared to results obtained from manual reading. Results. At a 1 : 40/1 : 80 dilution the resulting comparison demonstrated 94.8%/92.9% positive, 97.4%/97.4% negative, and 96.5%/96.2% total agreements between manual IIF and NOVA View archived images. Agreement of identifiable patterns between methods was 97%, with PCNA and mixed patterns undetermined. Conclusion. Excellent agreements were obtained between reading archived images on NOVA View and manually on a fluorescent microscope. In addition, workflow benefits were observed which need to be analyzed in future studies.

A smart model for clinical laboratory personnel development.
Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand, 2010Co-Authors: Sirisali K, Pairoj Leelahakul, Phantip Vattanaviboon, Wijit Wonglumsom, Manochiopinij S, Sophon SirisaliAbstract:Background: To become a quality clinical laboratory, personnel development is the most important factor. In order to achieve this goal, it should emphasize that clinical laboratory is not only a testing laboratory; it must be a knowledge-based service laboratory. A smart model for clinical laboratory personnel development under the Human Asset Development (HAD) program had been launched since 2003. Objective: To strengthen the competency of clinical laboratory personnel, an appropriate model was developed and apply to the clinical laboratory personnel. Material and Method: Medical Technologist who currently worked in clinical laboratory participated in this study. The proposed model consisted of 3 phases. 1) The knowledge providing via update and refresher courses. 2) Application of learned knowledge to practice under close supervision. 3) Training on special topic and self oriented research activity. Results: The outcome of 5 years project was evaluated. After the first phase, they were able to identify and solve their own troublesome under ours close supervision. There were 25 projects presented within 3 years. The last phase, they were very constructive. Nine projects of self created had been presented. Those projects contained clear objectives and were able to implement. Conclusion: The smart model for clinical laboratory personnel development leaded to many self created projects in a few years. Thus, this implies its important role in human resource development that should be continued. The keys index of success were ours strong intention, with providing motivation and periodically encouragement to the participants, and keep going on consistently.

challenging trends of Medical Technologist toward health caring in the 21st century
The Bulletin of Chiang Mai Associated Medical Sciences, 2016Co-Authors: Virapong Prachayasittikul, Chotiros Plabplueng, Lertyot Treeratanapiboon, Kulachart Jangpatarapongsa, Kamonrat Phopin, Pornlada Nuchnoi, Waraporn ChanonAbstract:In the digital era, a broad application of technologies considerably impacts routine life style that affects health status of global population. Concepts and strategies of health care system as well as roles of Medical professionals have to be inevitably refashioned for prompt response to unceasing changes of social demands. A paradigm in Medical technology has been shifted toward health promotion and prevention of diseases. The new concept emphasizes the significant role of Medical Technologist as a detective of human disorders, who initially notices imbalance or abnormality in the molecular levels through the laboratory results, thereby they should be the ones who bring awareness of individual healthcare to the community. In Thailand, the first community Medical technology (community MT) project, which brought Medical service to be accessible and affordable for more than 150 communities in Bangkok and surrounding provinces, has been launched by the Faculty of Medical Technology, Mahidol University since the year 1995. A success story of community MT is demonstrated by the honorable award of Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC). The proactive role of Medical Technologists is also extended to educational sections in order to cultivate a new culture for the young generation. Currently, community-based learning is included as a compulsory course in the bachelor program in Medical Technology. It is notable that an expectation regarding the potentials of Medical Technologists around the world has become beyond laboratory skills regarding dynamic changes of health status and social demands. From educational viewpoint, the curriculum should be remodeled to produce a new generation of Medical Technologists with high expertise and ethics to serve the society in the next 5-10 years. Additional skills such as data management skill, community practice, communication skill, interprofessional skill and collaborative practice should be included in the learning system. A capability to gain insights into highly advanced technologies and to apply them to the profession as well as an ability to develop novel innovations for diagnostic and therapeutic applications need to be cultivated. The moral and ethics, creativity and research skill should also be reinforced. A heart-based workforce and a capability to launch for new things should be emphasized through the form of transformative education. Regarding the era of standardization, the Medical technology profession serve as a key person who plays crucial roles in an achievement of high standard healthcare system. The proactive role in community also takes part in successful control and treatment of diseases. The expectation with respect to standard skills of the new generation Medical Technologist has evoked us, as “Medical Technologists” and “teachers who nurture the new generation”, to address and support our professions toward successful mission of producing high potential and high moral offspring to fulfil the betterment of society.

Contribution of Medical Technologists in team Medical care of diabetics
Rinsho byori. The Japanese journal of clinical pathology, 2006Co-Authors: Itsuko Sato, Takumi Jikimoto, Chinami Ooyabu, Mari Kusuki, Yosie Okano, Masahiko Mukai, Seiji Kawano, Shunichi KumagaiAbstract:For the effective treatment of diabetic mellitus (DM), patients are encouraged to self-manage their disease according to the doctor's instructions and advice from certified diabetes educators (CDE) and other coMedical staff. Therefore, the cooperation of Medical staff consisting of a doctor, CDE, nurse, pharmacist, dietitian, and Medical Technologist is important for DM education. Medical Technologists licensed for CDE (MT-CDE) have been participating in the DM education team in Kobe University Hospital since 2000. MT-CDE are in charge of classes for Medical tests, guidance for self-monitoring of blood glucose and teaching how to read the fluctuation graph of the blood glucose level in the education program for hospitalized DM patients. MT-CDEs teach at the bedside how to read the results of Medical tests during the first few days of hospitalization using pamphlets for Medical tests. The pamphlets are made comprehensible for patients by using graphics and photographs as much as possible. It is important to create a friendly atmosphere and answer frank questions from patients, since they often feel stress when having Medical tests at the early stage of hospitalization. This process of questions and answers promotes their understanding of Medical tests, and seems to reduce their anxiety about having tests. We repeatedly evaluate their level of understanding during hospitalization. By showing them the fluctuation graph of the glucose level, patients can easily understand the status of their DM. When prescriptions are written on the graph, their therapeutic effects are more comprehensible for the patients. The items written on the graph are chosen to meet the level of understanding of each patient to promote their motivation. In summary, the introduction of MT-CDE has been successful in the education program for DM patients in our hospital. We plan to utilize the skills and knowledge of MT-CDE more in our program so that our DM education program will help patients cope with life with DM.
