Evidence-Based Medical Treatment Plan

Laboratory medicine is an evidence-based medicine which is a set of medical diagnosis given to the public and assist with the clinical staff and medical doctors for disease identification and further to provide patients with an adequate combined medical treatment. Quality assurance of medical laboratory is regulated and accredited by international standardisation organisations. Along the whole processes of patient-centred laboratory medicine, it could be categorised by five stage: screening of disease, risk identification and stratification, clinical diagnosis, medical treatment selection by physicians and continuous monitoring of drug efficacy and side effects. It was discovered that pre-analytical process is the root cause of laboratory error …show more content…
However, the control of treatment selection cannot be well-established because it relies on the clinical experience of the medical doctors. Therefore, physician should have continuous study on medical diagnosis and therapeutics. A continuous monitoring will also be given to the patients in order to confirm the efficacy of the drugs, health condition of the patients and early detection of side effects raised. Any abnormal condition found shall be reported to the corresponding medical doctor and he or she can adjust the treatment plan immediately. Monitoring can be well managed by good recording and documentation practice. Automation and computing system for medical record may enhance the quality control in this process (Price and Christenson, 2013, Hallworth et al, 2015).

Horvath and Pewsner (2004) suggested that regular systematic review on the quality management in medical laboratory is important. They introduced some key points of a systematic review protocol for laboratory medicine assessment like clinical study design, screening and selection of patients, validity of reference test materials, interpretation and analysis of the
