    clinical laboratory technical procedure manuals approved guidelineu2014fourth edition 2002

    A guideline may be used as written or modified by the user to fit specific needs. Report A document that has not been subjected to consensus review and is released by the Board of Directors. CONSENSUS PROCESS The voluntary consensus process is a protocol establishing formal criteria for: the authorization of a project the development and open review of documents the revision of documents in response to comments by users the acceptance of a document as a consensus standard or guideline. Most documents are subject to two levels of consensus proposed and approved. Depending on the need for field evaluation or data collection, documents may also be made available for review at an intermediate (i.e., tentative ) consensus level. Proposed An consensus document undergoes the first stage of review by the healthcare community as a proposed standard or guideline. The document should receive a wide and thorough technical review, including an overall review of its scope, approach, and utility, and a lineby-line review of its technical and editorial content. Tentative A tentative standard or guideline is made available for review and comment only when a recommended method has a well-defined need for a field evaluation or when a recommended protocol requires that specific data be collected. It should be reviewed to ensure its utility. Approved An approved standard or guideline has achieved consensus within the healthcare community. It should be reviewed to assess the utility of the final document, to ensure attainment of consensus (i.e., that comments on earlier versions have been satisfactorily addressed), and to identify the need for additional consensus documents.Provisions in standards and guidelines may be more or less stringent than applicable regulations. Consequently, conformance to this voluntary consensus document does not relieve the user of responsibility for compliance with applicable regulations. COMMENTS The comments of users are essential to the consensus process.

    1 Preanalytic Processes Preanalytic key processes in the path of workflow for the anatomic and clinical laboratory specialties include all activities from the time the laboratory tests are ordered through the time that the specimens are processed and delivered to the laboratory testing location or transported to reference laboratories. For anatomic pathologists and cytotechnologists, preanalytic activities extend from the time the tissue is removed or collected to the point where the slides are prepared and ready for diagnostic assessment and interpretation. Adapted from document GP26 A Quality System Model for Health Care. 4.2 Analytic Processes Analytic key processes for the clinical laboratory specialties include the activities of performing the test, verifying the validity of the test results, interpreting the findings, and recording the findings. In the anatomic pathology specialties, analytic key processes include the diagnostic assessment of the slides, peer review, and recording the findings. Traditionally, laboratories have been functionally and often physically divided into the specific clinical disciplines of chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and transfusion service for specialized testing methods and instruments. More recently, many laboratories have segregated along manual and automated testing methods. Each laboratory or clinical discipline however it is organized should identify its automated and manual testing processes. Analytic key processes for the laboratory s path of workflow are shown in Figure 3. Testing Results Review, Recording and Follow-Up Interpretation Figure 3. Laboratory Analytic Key Processes. Adapted from document GP26 A Quality System Model for Health Care. 2 An global consensus guideline. All rights reserved. 21 Volume 22 GP2-A4 4.3 Postanalytic Processes Postanalytic key processes in the path of workflow include activities related to reporting results and archiving results and specimen material.

    Postanalytic processes are shown in Figure 4. Result Reporting and Archiving Specimen Retention Figure 4. Laboratory Postanalytic Key Processes. Adapted from document GP26 A Quality System Model for Health Care. 5 Laboratory Procedure Contents Common Elements The laboratory should have procedures that describe preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic activities in the laboratory operational workflow. The procedure document describes the series of steps to be followed by one individual to complete a specific task. Written procedures should specifically explain how to perform each activity in the laboratory s preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic work processes. A set of common elements should be included in each type of procedure. At a minimum, laboratory procedures should include: Title; Purpose or principle; Procedure instructions; References; Author; and Approval signatures. Appendix A provides a tabular view of what should be included in a procedure document. Additional elements that are specific to analytic vs.Appendixes B through F are examples of laboratory procedures. For additional information on the distinction between processes and procedures, see Appendix J. 5.1 Title All procedures should have a title that clearly states the intent of the document. The title should be concise and descriptive, for example: Blood Specimen Collection Process; Performing Glucose Testing on Instrument X; Waterbath Temperature Monitoring Procedure; and Preparing Gram Stain Working Solutions. All rights reserved. 3 22 Number Purpose or Principle The document should open with a section that simply states its purpose. For example, the Purpose section of a procedure could be stated as, This procedure provides instructions for collecting fingerstick specimens for glucose analysis. The words, This procedure provides instructions for can be standardized in the template for all procedure documents.

    This edition of GP2 has been expanded to provide: guidelines for writing procedures for the preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic activities that represent the laboratory s path of workflow; guidelines for writing procedures specifically for multitest automated analyzers; an introduction to the management and control of laboratory procedure documents after they are approved for use; and the use of process flowcharts to depict the linkages between laboratory procedures. The information and examples provided in this edition are also consistent with the guidance described in document GP26 A Quality System Model for Health Care. This edition of GP2 is applicable to any size laboratory, wherever it may be in the transition of its quality program from traditional quality control and quality assurance practices to the concepts of quality systems management. Key Words Document management, electronic procedures, laboratory procedure, procedure manual, technical procedures xv 18 Number 5 xvi 19 Volume 22 GP2-A4 1 Introduction Clinical Laboratory Technical Procedure Manuals; Approved Guideline Fourth Edition The laboratory should provide carefully documented instructions in the form of procedures for all activities that support the performance of analytic testing. These instructions provide essential information for both new and experienced employees on how to perform all their job tasks including nontesting tasks such as collecting blood specimens and using the laboratory s computer system. Written procedures should encompass an entire task from start to finish. Therefore, it makes sense to write separate instructions for tasks that are performed at different times by different people. GP2-A4 is intended to be used by the following persons: administrative and technical personnel who write laboratory procedures; manufacturers; and educators.

    2 Scope This publication describes how to: identify laboratory procedures using the laboratory s operational path of workflow; and write procedures for preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic laboratory activities. In addition, this edition of GP2 provides useful information about preparing, approving, maintaining, changing, and reviewing laboratory documents. 3 Definitions a Document, n Any recorded item of a factual or informative nature, either paper or electronic. Form, n A paper or electronic document on which the results from the performance of a procedure or other information are captured. Policy, n A written statement of overall intentions and directions defined by those in the organization and endorsed by management. Procedure, n A specified way to perform an activity; NOTE: For a quality system, a procedure is a set of instructions that describe the stepwise actions to be taken to complete activities identified in processes. Process, n Set of interrelated or interacting activities that transform inputs into outputs; NOTE: It may be documented as flowcharts or tables that describe the path of operational workflow in the laboratory.For complete definitions and detailed source information, please refer to the most current edition of that document. An global consensus guideline. All rights reserved. 1 20 Number 5 4 Path of Workflow Laboratory work is a sequence of key processes in which the laboratory uses resources, such as people, machines, methods, and materials to transform orders for laboratory tests into results and reports for patient management. Key processes for the laboratory are referred to as the path of workflow, which is shown in Figure 1. Preanalytic Processes Analytic Processes Postanalytic Processes Figure 1. Laboratory Path of Workflow. Adapted from document GP26 A Quality System Model for Health Care. 4.

    Information regarding the theory, clinical implications of the test or test methodology, or historical background may also be included at the beginning of the document, thereby providing an educational, clinical, and scientific framework for the reader and user. 5.3 Procedure Instructions The primary focus of a procedure is to provide instructions for how to do a particular task in a stepwise fashion for example, the steps involved in verifying patient identification at the time of blood specimen collection. 5.4 References Procedures should include the references that were used as the source of the information, when applicable. The references may originate from any of the following: manufacturer s product literature; text books; published standards and guidelines; laboratory policy manuals; laboratory information technology manuals; unpublished information obtained from experts in the field; and applicable regulations. References should be listed in a standard medical format. 5.5 Author The author(s) of the document should be noted. The laboratory has the option of including author information directly on the document, or on another document that can be referenced to the specific document. If the laboratory chooses to use a separate document to record the author, a mechanism should be in place that enables the referencing of the author back to the appropriate specific document. 5.6 Approval Signatures There should be evidence that the procedure has been approved by the appropriate individual(s). (Note: Document approval by an appropriate individual is a requirement of regulatory and accrediting agencies in some countries.) The laboratory has the option of including signature approval information directly on the document, or on another document that can be referenced to the specific document. If the laboratory chooses to use a separate document to record signature approvals, a mechanism should be in place that 4 An global consensus guideline. All rights reserved.

    23 Volume 22 GP2-A4 enables the referencing of the approval signature back to the specific document. Guidance for this approach to approval signatures is provided in Section Procedure Documents Specific for the Path of Workflow 6.1 Preanalytic Procedures Preanalytic procedures provide the instructions for all activities of laboratory workflow that take place before sample analysis. The laboratory should have separate written procedures for preanalytic activities, because they may be performed by nonlaboratory as well as laboratory persons at different times in the preanalytic work flow. Preanalytic procedures include those for: test ordering instructions for entering laboratory test orders into a computer system or completing paper requisitions including verification of clinical orders; specimen collection instructions for identifying patients, collecting blood and nonblood specimens, and labeling collected specimens; specimen transport instructions for transporting specimens to the laboratory, such as through the pneumatic tube system; and specimen processing instructions for receiving and accessioning specimens in the laboratory, any storage or processing before delivery at the testing section, and any preparations for preparing specimens to be transported to other laboratories for testing (e.g., reference laboratories). In addition to the elements common to all documents described in Section 5, preanalytic procedures should contain the following types of information; however, this information should be included only where it is needed to perform that procedure.

    Patient preparation in procedures for specimen collection; Specimen collection in procedures for collection techniques for blood and nonblood specimens; Required equipment and forms in all preanalytic procedures where equipment and forms are used; Safety general or specific instructions as described below; Specimen handling requirements instructions for handling collected specimens during transport to the laboratory receiving area; Specimen storage requirements instructions for where and how to store specimens before testing; and Problems or pitfalls Patient Preparation Where applicable, preanalytic specimen collection procedures should include information about patient preparation such as instructions for: An global consensus guideline. For example: Test requisitions and labels; Specimen collection devices and materials (e.g., blood collection tubes, media, swabs); Specimen containers; and Instruments (tourniquets, hemostats, scissors, etc.) Safety Preanalytic procedures should include safety instructions for the collection and handling of biohazardous specimens. The instructions should be written for the intended readership for example, those who handle the specimen such as nursing, transport, or laboratory personnel. If no special precautions are required, preanalytic procedures may refer the user to the safety policy manual for general safety requirements. A Special Safety Precautions section should be included in preanalytic procedures when additional safety requirements beyond the basic handling of biologic and other hazardous materials are necessary (see documents M29 Protection of Laboratory Workers from Occupationally Acquired Infections and GP17 Clinical Laboratory Safety.) Specimen Handling Requirements Where applicable, preanalytic procedures should include information about specimen handling requirements. This information includes: special transport requirements (e.g., on ice, within a certain time, in appropriate containers, etc.

    ); safety precautions that are to be taken with potentially infectious specimens; and 6 An global consensus guideline. This information should include: locations where specimens are stored before testing; acceptable storage temperatures; and stability of the specimen over time, where timelines might affect testing Problems or Pitfalls Preanalytic procedure documents should include information about problems or pitfalls that may occur in the performance of the procedure. Where applicable, users should be referred to other procedures. Examples of this kind of information include what to do when: received specimens are unacceptable; the computer is down; and patients present for testing without a proper order Preanalytic Computer Activities Procedures that provide instructions for using the laboratory s information system for preanalytic activities should be designed around the respective prompts in a computer program s sequences. 6.2 Analytic Procedures Analytic procedures cover the activities from the time the specimen reaches the testing area to the time results are reviewed and preliminary interpretations are made. Analytic procedures for manual tests differ from procedures for automated testing. Manual testing procedures are usually method-specific. Gram stain, direct antiglobulin test, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate are traditional examples of manual method-based analytic procedures. Automated testing procedures are represented by the menu of multiple test methods that can be performed on a single instrument or analyzer (such as for coagulation or chemistry). In addition, test results provided by both manual and automated methods can be qualitative, semiquantitative, or quantitative. The attributes of manual vs.

    The differences between procedures for manual and automated testing are described in the sections that follow Elements of Manual Analytic Method-Based Procedures In addition to the elements that are common to all documents, analytic procedure documents should include the following sections, wherever applicable: Specimen Information; Test Method Instructions; An global consensus guideline. For example: Antibody Screen by Gel Technique; Microscopic Urinalysis by Phase Microscopy; Gram Stain Procedure; and Fingerstick Glucose Testing on the XYZ Instrument. This section should present the stepwise instructions for performing the test by the method described in the package insert or operator s manual. If procedure instructions taken from manufacturer s literature are altered or deleted, this may change the test method performance and, therefore, appropriate validation procedures must be performed. 8 An global consensus guideline.

    clinical manual and review of transesophageal echocardiography second edition pdf

    The topics range from the physics of ultrasound to the basic TEE examination, and to more commonly encountered anatomic variants and artifacts. The chapter that describes the controls on the ultrasound machine has many TEE images representative of how manipulation of a certain control changes the picture and is most helpful in understanding how to optimize the image acquired. The chapter entitled Quantitative Echocardiography, which includes applications of Doppler technology in the assessment of stenotic versus regurgitant lesions (specifically the proximal isovelocity surface area, or PISA, method) and equations necessary for intracardiac pressure measurements, is a detailed yet compact introduction to subsequent sections in which various pathologies are addressed individually. Although a separate chapter on mitral valve repair, focusing on different surgical techniques and concerns, is particularly useful in understanding the surgeon's perspective, there is repetition of inconsistent information regarding the anatomy of the mitral valve. For example, chapter 7 on the mitral valve mainly classifies chordae tendineae as primary, secondary, and tertiary, whereas chapter 8 on mitral valve repair draws attention to the difference between commissural chordae and leaflet chordae, further dividing them into three groups: paramedial, central, and paracommissural. This causes confusion as these two consecutive chapters are reviewed. The chapter on heart failure surgery, which explains concerns and considerations regarding heart transplantation and ventricular assist devices, is particularly thorough and well organized. The chapter on epicardial and epiaortic echocardiography, with multiple pictures representing every imaging plane described in the text, is very informative. This section concludes with a chapter that discusses TEE as a diagnostic and a monitoring tool during noncardiac surgery.

    They focus on the causes of hemodynamic instability, along with chest trauma, aortic dissection, and aortic disruption. The newer technologies included are three-dimensional echocardiography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, strain rate, tissue strain rate, and two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. This chapter is the most difficult to read due to the highly technical information about these emerging modalities. The authors acknowledge that more research is needed before some of these technologies are routinely applicable to the clinical setting. This last section also includes information regarding training and certification in TEE. This section also summarizes the methods and equations used in quantitative echocardiography. Normal Doppler values of prosthetic valves are also grouped under this section. There are multiple questions at the end of each chapter, with answers (some with lengthy explanations) at the end of the book. In addition, there is a CD attached with 150 questions, 50 of which are video based. These images make the text much easier to read and understand. For example, chapter 12 uses these pictures in abundance when demonstrating the grading of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Chapter 5, while reviewing the recommended tomographic planes, uses not only echocardiographic images but also anatomic representations illustrating how an imaging plane cuts through the heart, for better three-dimensional understanding of the particular view obtained. As the text focuses on technical aspects of TEE examination of cardiac pathologies, the physiology, pathophysiology, and treatment options are integrated into its content as appropriate. This approach provides a thorough understanding of the pathology being discussed in that particular chapter.

    The chapters are concise and well illustrated, and most have an extensive number of questions that allow readers to identify topics that they may need to review in greater depth.

    In addition to standard continuing education courses to fulfill mandatory hours, there are alternative pathways. One alternative is to serve as a clinical instructor. Each affiliation must be a minimum of 4 weeks and each PT or PTA may earn up to a maximum of 12 hours of continuing competency hours in one license renewal cycle. You may still serve as a Clinical Instructor after that date, but will only receive credit hours towards re-licensure if you are certified. Learn more at northerncalclined.org All rights reserved. The Academic Council provides leadership in topics, trends and issues pertinent to physiotherapy academic and clinical education and research. Fundamental to the activities of the Academic Council is the collaborative working relationship of its member organizations and the National Association for Clinical Education in Physiotherapy. Feel free to include these forms in your clinical placement toolkit! The College of Physical Therapists of Alberta have an useful resource for those new to supervision or who would like some tips. While the information contained in these websites is not UBC-specific, we think these sites provide excellent practical information on hosting a student placement. Students receive these expectations and are accountable for them as written, however, you are most welcome to adapt these for use at your site or as a basis for learning objectives if they are helpful. A list of ideas and activities for any down time during a placement. Knowing what students “pick up” from their clinical setting can help Clinical Educators in their approach to students and enable them to “debunk the myths” that sometimes circulate amongs students.

    All physiotherapists (including students) are bound by these standards and codes. It is now used nationally to assess the performance of physiotherapy students on practice placements. As a part of our clinical education faculty, we would like to provide you with easy access to the information and tools needed during your Pacific DPT student's clinical experience or internship.The academic faculty values the essential partnerships with clinical educational faculty in creating quality clinical education experiences. Integrated clinical education experiences are concurrent with didactic course work. Early full-time clinical experiences provide learning in the clinical environment. Clinical internships, in a variety of practice settings with exposure to patients across the lifespan, follow the completion of the didactic coursework. The emphasis on self-assessment and professional development prepares Pacific Doctor of Physical Therapy students to be skilled, reflective practitioners dedicated to lifelong learning. The SCCE then distributes this information to the student's Clinical Instructor (CI) within their facility. This form includes the student's evaluation of both the overall clinical experience provided by the site and evaluation of the CI(s). If you have not used this tool before, you must first complete the free two-hour online training course through the APTA Learning Center. At the time you complete the training, you also create your own password. On their clinical internships, Pacific students may be asked to complete a short form with clinical site information. If so, you must complete this formal clinical instructor education program composed of interactive didactic education sessions followed by an Assessment Center. The program is approximately 15 hours long and is offered frequently through APTA, CPTA and our Northern California Clinical Education Consortium.

    Students should acknowledge those skills which need improvement, exhibit initiative to improve them, incorporate feedback from instructors without reminders and demonstrate progressive improvement. Students are encouraged to practice skills learned in the previous semester. These courses are dispersed to complement the students' clinical exposure. These three courses emphasize the affective domain of learning, critical thinking and clinical problem solving skills. These skills are an integral part of becoming a competent, knowledgeable and empathetic health care professional. Professional behaviors are also emphasized in these courses. This provides the student with the opportunity to apply learned skills to actual patient care. The direct patient care and the feedback provided by Clinical Instructors (CI) reinforce and modify the student's psychomotor skills. The 8-week period is determined by the clinical site. This period is designated as Clinical Education I and students must be available for any 8-week period during the specified clinic sequence. Employment obligations or vacations do not supersede clinical education placement. The 8-week period is determined by the clinical site. This period is designated as Clinical Education II and students must be available for any 8-week period during the specified clinic sequence. Employment obligations or vacations do not supersede clinical education placement. The fourth affiliation begins the first week in January and ends in late March. This affiliation may be completed at a single clinical site, or may be completed at two separate clinical sites, in a 2:1 ratio (i.e. eight weeks at one site, and four weeks at a second site: the four-week affiliation is designed to provide the student exposure to a specialty-area of practice).

    This manual will serve as a resource as you progress through the program and guide you through your clinical education experiences. They are Health Professions, Behavioral and Life Sciences, Architecture and Design, Education and Professional Services, Engineering and Technology, Arts, Sciences and Communication, and Management. In addition, there is the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and two career-oriented centers, Labor and Industrial Relations and Energy Policy and Research. This is provided at NYIT in many forms. These include, but are not limited to:Distance learning (fiber optic video classes) was installed five years ago, and demand for use of the nine distance learning classrooms has increased to capacity. In addition, there has been a large infusion of computers in instruction, student resource areas and the library. Access to the World Wide Web has increased for the students and faculty alike. The School is dedicated to providing a high quality learning environment that fosters a multicultural inter-professional perspective, spirit of scientific inquiry, life-long learning, and ethical behavior for all students. These practitioners contribute to society and the profession through practice, teaching, administration, and the application of new knowledge. We are committed to providing the education necessary to allow students to become entry level competent Physical Therapists with high professional standards. The clinical education component of the curriculum plays a vital role in the student's development. Professional growth will occur in all three domains of learning: affective, cognitive and psychomotor, through a combination of classroom and clinical education experiences. This pertains to background information this is vital to carrying out evaluation and treatment skills.

    Typically, these students have not failed an exam or practical and have had no behavioral or professional issues. At that point, the Dean would be informed with appropriate action to follow. Affiliation sites are not abundant. Students should expect to travel to affiliation sites, and are responsible for related expenses. Students should be prepared to take public transportation to any of the five boroughs of NYC or adjacent counties (Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester). Commuting time may be as long as 2 hours each way. Clinical sites offering placements may be posted for each affiliation time block on the appropriate student bulletin board or website. Students should not request a contract or a placement from a site. All contract negotiation is completed between the clinical site and NYIT. Remember, the processing of a new contract may take six months or longer. Therefore, any new site requests should be submitted to the ACCE well in advance. Once completed, clinical education placements are posted on the appropriate student bulletin board or website.Excusable absences only include illness and family emergencies.This includes reviewing the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument and obtaining a clear understanding of the performance criteria requirements for each affiliation block. All detailed requirements of the clinical site should be clarified and confirmed at that time. Students must verify receipt from the clinical site of the school's affiliation packet.These are to be worn at each affiliation. A lab coat may or may not be required by the clinical site. Students are responsible for procuring and wearing a lab coat as required by clinical sites. Students are responsible for following the uniform (dress code) guidelines required of the clinical site. Professional dress is required of students at all times while participating in clinic (refer to item XVIII for other specific requirements).

    The student is responsible for purchasing this coverage prior to placement at any affiliation site, and for maintaining said coverage continuously until all affiliations are successfully completed. The fees are determined by the insurance carrier. It is the student's responsibility to purchase the amount of coverage required by the clinical site at which they are placed. Students are required to have liability insurance by September 1 of each academic year. The annual health assessment form conforms to New York State law requirements. If the screening is positive, the student must have a normal chest X-ray in the last two years or being treated prophylactically, if indicated. Some clinical sites require an additional health form that needs to be completed prior to starting clinic. Students are financially responsible for the expenses incurred related to the medical examination.For sites requiring an interview prior to assignment, the site retains the right to refuse the placement of any student at their site for an affiliation. All sites are required to comply with NYIT's non-discrimination policy for clinical placements. Length and duration of the orientation program are at the discretion of the facility. These are mailed to the affiliation site for review prior to the start date. Each student receives a copy of the objectives as well. NYIT and clinical sites require the student to write their own objectives for the affiliation: these are reviewed and updated periodically during the affiliation with feedback from the clinical instructor. The processing of these contracts may take six to twelve (6-12) months. A contract can only be established with a clinical site if their legal department and the college's legal department can agree on terms of the contract. Therefore, no student should assume that a contract will be established with any particular clinical site.

    There is a charge for the BLS course that may be arranged by the NYIT PT Department, or taken outside of the department (at a local red cross unit, hospital or ambulance corps). If you do not take the BLS courses offered to you, it is your responsibility to find and take the courses on your own.You must hand in an updated emergency contact sheet prior to each clinical education. This form will be placed and locked in your file in your clinical education folder in the PT department offices. The course syllabus, assignments and other documents the student needs to complete will be posted in the Blackboard Clinical Education course. Students are required to adhere to due dates posted for the assignments. Students who do not submit required course assignments cannot receive a passing grade for the affiliation even if the CPI meets the passing criteria listed in the Student Clinical Education Manual. If a student chooses to mail the packet, the address will be posted in the Clinical Education Blackboard Course or in the course syllabus. The required postmark date will be one week after the last scheduled day of the clinic affiliation. No electronic submissions of any documents will be accepted unless specified. If the student is required to make up days in clinic the postmark date will reflect the scheduling change. No exceptions. A student will receive an incomplete grade if the envelope is not received by the designated deadline and required documents are missing from the envelope. If a student chooses to send the packet via mail and the envelope is lost in the mail, the student will be required to present proof that the envelope was mailed by the designated postmark date to receive a passing grade for the course.The student is expected to meet each of the criteria listed below for each clinical affiliation level. Performance criteria levels of expectation have been established based upon academic preparation and progressive clinical experiences.

    The student is expected to meet this level as rated on the scale by the conclusion of the affiliation (Please see the CPI for a full description of each clinical performance criteria). These items are considered critical. Students who do not meet these criteria at any point during the affiliation may be removed from the affiliation as requested by the clinical faculty or as deemed appropriate by the academic faculty, and will not successfully complete the affiliation (i.e. they will receive a failing grade, and will be responsible to repeat the affiliation as detailed below). The cost for registering for and repeating a failed affiliation is the responsibility of the student. At this level, performance is inconsistent and clinical reasoning is performed in an inefficient manner. Performance reflects little or no experience. The student does not carry a caseload. At this level, the student demonstrates consistency in developing proficiency with simple tasks (eg, medical record review, goniometry, muscle testing, and simple interventions), but is unable to perform skilled examinations, interventions, and clinical reasoning skills. The student may begin to share a caseload with the clinical instructor. At this level, the student is proficient with simple tasks and is developing the ability to consistently perform skilled examinations, interventions, and clinical reasoning. The student is capable of maintaining 50% of a full-time physical therapist's caseload. At this level, the student is consistent and proficient in simple tasks and requires only occasional cueing for skilled examinations, interventions, and clinical reasoning. The student is capable of maintaining 75% of a full-time physical therapist's caseload. The criteria above must be met in order to pass each affiliation. The clinical site may recommend that the student repeat an affiliation.

    The self-evaluation will include completion of the CPI by the student, including appropriate comments in addition to VAS scoring.This is a requirement for continuation in the program and for graduation. Each student will be visited within an allotted travel budget.Occasionally a clinic cancels once a student is placed. The student will be reassigned to another clinic site based on availability. Students should comply with all OSHA regulations, review patient guarding, handling techniques and body mechanics prior to beginning affiliations. Details are reviewed in the evaluation section. Students should review these prior to each affiliation. The packet includes: the student's name, address, emergency address, telephone number and emergency telephone number, health form, the affiliation objectives, course work completed, future courses to be completed, a copy of the student's malpractice insurance, an evaluation of the clinical site form, and a copy of the Physical Therapist Clinical Performance Instrument (CPI). Students are welcome to review this information in the office. This information is not to be removed from the office. Please note that not all clinics are appropriate for student placement. If the academic faculty determines that a site is inappropriate for clinical placement, a contract will not be established with that site. Please note that all contracts must be approved by the legal department of the college, and that if the college and clinical site cannot agree to terms of a contract, no contract will be established with that clinical site. If the student is not sure of a clinic's policy, the student must ask for the information. Students are responsible for knowing fire and emergency procedures at their assigned clinical site. If this is not reviewed during orientation the student is responsible for acquiring this information. Other exposed body piercing pose potential safety hazards to the student during clinical activities.

    Excessive ear piercings are not acceptable. Students will be assigned to complete their affiliations at a minimum of four different clinical sites. Additional affiliation placements are made based upon student interest and site availability. Student illnesses beyond two days require a doctor's note.This is especially essential as you start your clinical education. Proof of this coverage should be given to the ACCE at least eight weeks prior to the start of Clinical Education I, or 8 weeks prior to the end of the semester preceding clinical placement. Other conditions may be specified under individual site affiliation agreements. All laboratory tests should be performed immediately after the incident at the hospital site. Ongoing diagnostic follow up may be required. If indicated, ongoing treatment may also be necessary. If an incident occurs in a non-hospital clinical setting, the student should report the incident to the clinical preceptor and have appropriate testing done immediately either at the site, or at the Academic Health Care Center, or at the nearest medical facility able to perform the appropriate testing. Ongoing diagnostic follow up may be required. If indicated, ongoing treatment may also be necessary. The form is available on the corresponding Clinical Education Blackboard Course. A copy is available as an addendum to this Manual. In addition, the college offers sickness insurance plan that provides partial payments of related doctor and hospital bills; the cost of this secondary insurance policy is minimal. There are two times a year that you can sign up for this health coverage: Deadline by October 15 and February 15. For information, contact the Office of Student Services, 516.686.7635. No student will be allowed into the Clinic until a background check and drug screen have been completed and show no negative, derogatory, or adverse information.

    Any student not meeting the above criteria will no longer be eligible for continuation in the Physical Therapy Program or a degree in Physical Therapy from NYIT. Failure of the first affiliation will require that the student repeat that affiliation on a space-available basis, and may not return to the academic curriculum until it has been repeated and passed. This affiliation is the prerequisite to the Fall semester second year course work. Any course failure requires that the student undergo academic review with the program faculty. If the faculty finds that the severity of the issues warrant remediation, the student must first complete the assigned remediation process and second, complete and pass another full-time, 8-week affiliation. Note that this may delay the potential graduation date by one year. Affiliation placement is contingent upon affiliation availability. The cost of repeating the affiliation is the student's responsibility. Failure of the second affiliation will require that the student repeat that affiliation on a space-available basis, and may not return to the academic curriculum until it has been repeated and passed. This affiliation is the prerequisite to the Fall semester, third year course work. Any course failure requires that the student undergo academic review with the program faculty. The student must complete assigned remediation prior to clinical placement for a full-time, 8-week placement. The student may be required to sit out one academic year to successfully meet the pre-requisite requirement for the third year fall semester. Note that this may delay the potential graduation date by one year. Affiliation placement is contingent upon affiliation availability. The cost of repeating the affiliation is the student's responsibility. The student must complete assigned remediation prior to clinical placement.

    The student will not continue to their fourth and final affiliation until successful completion of remediation and the successful repetition of the third affiliation. Note that this delays the graduation date. Affiliation placement is contingent upon affiliation availability. The cost of repeating the affiliation is the student's responsibility. The student must complete assigned remediation prior to clinical placement. The student will not graduate until the successful completion of the repeated final affiliation. Note that this delays the graduation date. Affiliation placement is contingent upon affiliation availability. The cost of repeating the affiliation is the student's responsibility. An academic review with the faculty will be scheduled to discuss whether the student should repeat the course and re-enter the program the following year. This will not prevent the student from continuing at NYIT in another major area. Students are permitted to repeat a failed course one time only. Students may repeat a maximum of one course while enrolled in the P. T. Program. This policy also applies to clinical affiliation grades, which are pass-fail. A student is limited to failing one clinical affiliation throughout the entire curriculum sequence. If a clinical affiliation is failed, the student is placed in one make-up clinical affiliation. This make-up clinical affiliation, and any and all remaining clinical affiliations, must be passed for successful continuation and graduation from the program. If a student withdraws from any course, permission to repeat the course and re-enter the program is based upon the criteria described above. Students must pass all practical examinations. The policy for the passing criteria is included in the course syllabus. This includes academic and clinical faculty.

    The authors of the Toolkit make the following recommendations: An academic program representative should allot time to review the Toolkit and discuss the experience with CI prior to the start date.

This two day in person course is composed of interactive didactic education sessions followed by an Assessment Center. The course is frequently offered through APTA, CPTA and our Northern California Clinical Education Consortium. California licensed PTs and PTAs who serve as clinical instructors may collect one hour (of the 30 mandatory hours) for each week of any full-time clinical experience for a student from an accredited PT or PTA program. California Code of Regulations On an annual basis, SCCEs should update this information on Exxat. Once a CI has completed this training, they may access a web version of this tool at:. A signed evaluation must be submitted to the DCE. As the goal of the DPT program is to graduate competent generalist practitioners, the goal of the clinical experience is to provide the student with a broad exposure to multiple aspects and settings of physical therapy practice. This spectrum includes the opportunity to experience team care and the interdisciplinary approach to health services. Within the clinical environment, the student is provided the opportunity to learn to apply didactic knowledge, develop professional attitudes, and practice skills. This aspect of the educational experience is essential, as these opportunities are difficult to duplicate within the academic classroom. It is only within the clinical setting that higher levels of integration and application of skills and behaviors may be learned or acquired. The two ICEs occur during the first year. Students spend four full days at multiple local clinical sites.

    The first full-time clinical experience occurs during the summer of students’ second year for ten (10) weeks, followed by the second full-time clinical experience in the winter of the second year for twelve (12) weeks. In the spring of the third year, students participate in the final twelve (12) week experience. Students are required to complete a clinical experience in at least one inpatient and one outpatient setting. The program expects the first full-time experience to be in an acute or musculoskeletal practice setting, and subsequent experiences will be in a different setting than the first summer.Specifically, the goals are to. The DCE coordinates the administration of the clinical education program, in association with the academic and clinical faculty and students. This individual serves as a liaison between the University and clinical rotation sites and is responsible for clinical site selection, development, and evaluation. This individual is responsible for ensuring student supervision and a well-rounded clinical experience. This clinical education should require analytical thinking, problem solving, treatment design, and application on actual patients to insure that the student is able to function at the professional entry level. It is considered an integral part of the curriculum.This schedule is a guideline and should be modified based on the student's performance and availability of specialty services at the Internship site. Thank you! Quality clinical education is critical to effectively preparing our students to become competent physical therapists. It is also a rewarding and exciting component of the curriculum. Clinical education serves to assist the integration of classroom work into clinical practice. The physical therapy students spend 45 weeks in full-time experiences designed to span a variety of practice settings and a wide-ranging patient population.

    In addition to 4 full-time experiences, students have the opportunity to complete part-time clinical experiences concurrent with didactic coursework. In these experiences, students practice knowledge and skills learned in preparation for full-time placements. Through clinical education, students develop safe, effective skills in all aspects of patient management, interpersonal relations, and professional conduct.

This book's intended audience is not limited to the field of anesthesia. As mentioned in the preface, this book is also an excellent source of information for the cardiologist, cardiac surgeon, intensivist, and the emergency department physician. The topics range from the physics of ultrasound to the basic TEE examination, and to more commonly encountered anatomic variants and artifacts. The chapter that describes the controls on the ultrasound machine has many TEE images representative of how manipulation of a certain control changes the picture and is most helpful in understanding how to optimize the image acquired.

Sniecinski, Roman M., MD Author Information Some books are meant to function as a comprehensive reference text and typically sit on a shelf until the need to answer a specific question arises. Other books provide a basic roadmap for trainees and are typically read cover to cover during their postgraduate training period. In this respect, the Clinical Manual and Review of Transesophageal Echocardiography, second edition, falls a bit in the middle. With 27 chapters and more than 600 pages, this book covers a wide array of topics and is more comprehensive than an introductory text. At the same time, the writing style is succinct and delivers a “right-to-the-point” message not typical of large reference works.

    In the opinion of this reviewer, this book would serve as an excellent source of up-to-date clinical information on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for trainees and more experienced anesthesiologists preparing for board examinations in both basic and advanced perioperative echocardiography. The increase in size is partially accounted for by the increased use of figures and illustrations, which are generally very well done. New chapters covering epiaortic, epicardial, and 3-dimensional ultrasound highlight the additional material. However, in keeping with the book's concise style, the material serves more to familiarize (or refresh) the reader with the basic concepts of TEE rather than provide extensive background material on the topic or a detailed “step-by-step” guide to using TEE in clinical practice. Potential buyers should keep this in mind to avoid being disappointed. Of course, this book is not meant to sit idly on the shelf as a reference, but rather to be used in an “interactive” manner. Readers of the first edition will be familiar with the numerous multiple-choice questions (up to 70) after almost every chapter. By and large, the questions are well written, with a wide range of difficulty. Some answers contain extensive explanations in the back of the book, detailing important calculation steps. Unfortunately, these extended explanations are not provided for every question, and the reader is left to wonder why certain answers are incorrect. Owners of the first edition should also be aware that a fair number of questions have been repeated in the second edition. It contains both “written” and “practical” multiple-choice tests that both can be taken as a timed, simulated board examination. I was particularly impressed with the “practical” portion that includes actual video clips that play as an integrated part of the question screen. Both sections can also be taken at a more leisurely pace with full explanations for incorrect answers.

    The chapter entitled Quantitative Echocardiography, which includes applications of Doppler technology in the assessment of stenotic versus regurgitant lesions (specifically the proximal isovelocity surface area, or PISA, method) and equations necessary for intracardiac pressure measurements, is a detailed yet compact introduction to subsequent sections in which various pathologies are addressed individually. Although a separate chapter on mitral valve repair, focusing on different surgical techniques and concerns, is particularly useful in understanding the surgeon's perspective, there is repetition of inconsistent information regarding the anatomy of the mitral valve. For example, chapter 7 on the mitral valve mainly classifies chordae tendineae as primary, secondary, and tertiary, whereas chapter 8 on mitral valve repair draws attention to the difference between commissural chordae and leaflet chordae, further dividing them into three groups: paramedial, central, and paracommissural. This causes confusion as these two consecutive chapters are reviewed. The chapter on heart failure surgery, which explains concerns and considerations regarding heart transplantation and ventricular assist devices, is particularly thorough and well organized. The chapter on epicardial and epiaortic echocardiography, with multiple pictures representing every imaging plane described in the text, is very informative. This section concludes with a chapter that discusses TEE as a diagnostic and a monitoring tool during noncardiac surgery. They focus on the causes of hemodynamic instability, along with chest trauma, aortic dissection, and aortic disruption. The newer technologies included are three-dimensional echocardiography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, strain rate, tissue strain rate, and two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography. This chapter is the most difficult to read due to the highly technical information about these emerging modalities.

    The authors acknowledge that more research is needed before some of these technologies are routinely applicable to the clinical setting. This last section also includes information regarding training and certification in TEE. This section also summarizes the methods and equations used in quantitative echocardiography. Normal Doppler values of prosthetic valves are also grouped under this section. There are multiple questions at the end of each chapter, with answers (some with lengthy explanations) at the end of the book. In addition, there is a CD attached with 150 questions, 50 of which are video based. These images make the text much easier to read and understand. For example, chapter 12 uses these pictures in abundance when demonstrating the grading of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Chapter 5, while reviewing the recommended tomographic planes, uses not only echocardiographic images but also anatomic representations illustrating how an imaging plane cuts through the heart, for better three-dimensional understanding of the particular view obtained. As the text focuses on technical aspects of TEE examination of cardiac pathologies, the physiology, pathophysiology, and treatment options are integrated into its content as appropriate. This approach provides a thorough understanding of the pathology being discussed in that particular chapter. However, it is a comprehensive review book for those who want to be certified in TEE and invaluable educational material for teaching through the many questions provided both in the book and in the accompanying CD. Aiming to enhance not only the skill but also the knowledge level for more accurate decision-making in the surgical and nonsurgical setting, this book is an invaluable reference text for the practitioner who routinely performs advanced TEE.

    The chapters are concise and well illustrated, and most have an extensive number of questions that allow readers to identify topics that they may need to review in greater depth. With expert contributing authors and sound editing, the second edition of this book would be a valuable addition to the library of anesthesiologists interested in a text covering the breadth of topics related to perioperative echocardiography.

It also provides more than 13,000 manuals from hundreds of medical device manufacturers. We’ve heard countless stories from biomedical technicians (biomeds, for short) about how medical device manufacturers make their jobs more difficult by restricting access to repair information,” Wiens writes in iFixit ’s blog post about the new database. “Thanks to travel limitations, the problem is bigger than ever. Manufacturer service reps can’t keep pace with the growing demand for repair of critical hospital equipment. Even if they could, they can’t respond as quickly as the biomeds, already at the front lines.” For the last two months, iFixit has pivoted half of its staff toward building the world’s most comprehensive medical equipment service database. It’s a central, multi-manufacturer library of user manuals and repair documentation for thousands of devices,” he writes. It has daunted, exhausted, intimidated, and inspired us.For instance, the clinical equipment category contains 53 subcategories for everything from anesthesia systems and Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) machines to respiratory analyzers and ventilators. The database also has medical training manuals, information on medical furniture like decontamination systems and hospital beds, and an exhaustive section on surgical equipment repair and maintenance. Among the most popular is Frank’s Hospital Workshop, a Tanzania-based site that hosts hundreds of medical device manuals — it’s the unofficial biomed bible,” Wiens writes.

    Their role is to negotiate contracts with suppliers, liaise with clinical users and performance-manage suppliers ensuring their service meets our expectations.Further details can be obtained by contacting. As part of that mission we are continuously evaluating our own practices to ensure we are positively impacting our global community. We recently assessed our process for providing customers with hard copy manuals. What we found was a broad range of preferences from our customers, some had to have a hard copy, some keep the manual handy on a computer or tablet, and others rarely read the user manual. This results in significant waste in the process. In place of the standard hard copy, you’ll have the option to either download or print the instrument manuals via our website, www.thermofisher.com. Manuals, firmware, software, spare part lists, technical bulletins and all other product information will be available in the same place, giving you a single location for all of your critical instrument materials. We also recommend setting www.thermofisher.com as a bookmark in your browser and using the search function to locate your product page, manual and other resources.
