Abstract:
To enhance the clinical thinking of laboratory personnel and their capability to interpret clinical results, this study proposes a new working model known as the "Systemic Disease Diagnosis Team" mode. Drawing inspiration from the guiding principles of "Organ-oriented Teaching" and "PBL Teaching," this mode organizes laboratory physicians and laboratory technicians with clinical medical backgrounds to engage in learning through disease diagnosis and treatment guidelines and typical case diagnostic pathways. Through various channels and forms, they actively participate in clinical communication and collaboration. The objective of this model is to break down the boundaries of laboratory sub-specialties, emphasizing the integration of laboratory expertise and the accumulation of relevant clinical diagnostic and treatment knowledge. Ultimately, the aim is to develop the ability to effectively translate laboratory results into diagnostic and treatment information. Having been in operation for over two years, eight systemic disease diagnosis teams have been established within the department. Members of these teams have experienced a significant improvement in their awareness and abilities to participate in clinical diagnosis and treatment. The number of invitations to clinical consultations and involvement in multidisciplinary treatment models (MDT) has notably increased. Attempts to create laboratory analysis reports with diagnostic significance and disease clinical diagnostic pathways have been well-received in the clinical community. However, during the operational process, challenges persist, including the need to develop personalized training plans for team members and to refine the working and management systems of the systemic disease diagnosis teams.
