ALFONSO DE LEON, Ana Gloria. Inadequate usage of the scientific-technical advances of clinical laboratory and clinical method. Repercussion on health care services. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.4, pp. 386-396. ISSN 1684-1824.
The clinical laboratory research have been influenced by the scientific-technical advances of the last years, consequently nowadays there it is offered a great variety of examinations allowing a better diseases prevention, diagnosis, control and prognosis, but they cannot, and should not surrogate the clinical method. We carried out a review of the sources available in Infomed and books related with the theme, and analyzed how the inadequate usage of the laboratory tests and the clinical method, on non-scientific bases, affects the quality of the health services in our settings, and identified that main generated problems are the damage of physician-patient relationships, the obstruction and delay of the certain diagnosis, putting up the prices of the health care services, overwork for laboratory technicians, and the incorrect learning of the usage of diagnostic means by the students among others.
