The Diagnostician: Dr. House as a New Career Model?
Have you ever watched those medical dramas where the heroes in white coats are handling lab work one minute and performing a CT scan the next? As a doctor, I always found this amusing, as in reality, you would need a laboratory physician for the former and a radiologist for the latter. Yet, recently, we’re hearing more and more about a new role – the “Diagnostician” – which seems to blend these fields. What does this entail, and does it make sense?
Diversity in laboratory diagnostics
The idea of personalized medicine, i.e. diagnostics and therapy tailored to the individual patient, is intended to make healthcare more efficient and targeted. At the same time, many laboratory reference values are handled uniformly across genders, ethnicities and age groups. Is a mind shift needed here?
Mapping wildfires through satellite data
Mapping wildfires through satellite data can help monitor their impact and mitigate the damage caused. medicalvalues utilizes Earth Observation data and artificial intelligence methods to provide decision support during disaster relief efforts.
The benefit of standards such as SNOMED and LOINC in everyday clinical practice and for digitization
The digital transformation takes place in all areas of life and makes data an economically important resource. In the healthcare sector, it can optimize medical and business management as improve research. At the same time, there are special challenges on the path to digitization in the healthcare system with data scattered across institutions and inconsistent standards. How this can still be achieved and how uniform data formatting becomes the rule will be made clear in the following article.
Additional demand and reflex testing
Subsequent requests are not only time-consuming and cost-intensive, but also repeatedly interrupt the clinical daily routine, causing delays. medicalvalues supports this process and mitigates these problems.
Interaction for medical data between senders and laboratory physicians
The communication between senders and receivers of medical tests and laboratory results lack due to time pressure and complicated communication ways. medicalvalues builds a solution to overcome those barriers.
