what is the study of the natural world and the interrelationship among the biological , physiological and even the social world
science
(Howell, 1996) technology can be defined in 3 ways. what are they
as a physical artifact [tools, machines, devices, or equipment—anything you can see or touch. Example: A microscope, a computer, or a stethoscope.] as a means to accomplish a goal [do something more easily or effectively. Example: Using a blood pressure monitor to quickly check a patient’s health.] as knowledge [includes the skills, techniques, and understanding needed to use or create tools. Example: Knowing how to run a blood test or interpret an X-ray.]
tech consists of physical elements such as
equipments materials products intangible elements (such as knowledge, skills, Procedures, principles or information base)
What is the main goal of medical technology
To improve: • Detection - presence or absence of a particular substance • Diagnosis - running different tests • Treatment - cure • Monitoring of disease - also applicable to incurable and lifetime diseases (for management)
who perform most of the laboratory test
clinical laboratory scientist
section 2 of R.A. 5527 is aka
the philippine Medical Technology Act of 1969 - approved on June 21, 1969
Amendments of RA 5527
R.A. 6132 P.D. 498 P.D. 1534 *the last 2 P.D. was under former president Marcos
practising as a medical technologist without a license
punishable by law
med tech can perform special procedures like
molecular nuclear diagnostics
why do med tech must perform the duties required for him or her asap?
as they must be aware of the urgency. esp in case that require urgent treatment
what does PAMET stands for
philippine association of medical technologists
PASMETH
philippine association of schools of medical technology and public health
med tech must perform his or her functions according to the…
professional code of ethics
what are the 7 different roles of different laboratory personnel
pathologist medical laboratory technicians phlebotomist cytotechnologist histotechnologist nuclear medical technologist toxicologist
identify the role: microscopic study and interpenetration of tissues, secretion and excretions of human body and its function. diagnose disease, determine effective treatment
pathologist
identify the role: draw blood for lab tests or blood donations.
phlebotomist
identify the role: works tgt with a pathologist to detect change in body cells. it is important in the early diagnosis of diseases
cytotechnologist
identify the role: responsible for routine preparation, processing and staining of biopsies and tissues specimens for microscopic examination
histotechnologist
identify the role: who works alongside nuclear physicians . they apply their knowledge of radiation physics and safety regulations to limit radiation exposure, prepare and administer radiopharmeceutical, and use of radiation devices
nuclear medical technologists
identify the role: study the effects of toxic substances on the physiological functions of human beings, animals and plants to develop data for use in consumer protection and industrial safety programs
toxicologist
the orginal version of code of ethics is made by
Dr. Nardito D. Moraleta
who made the revised version of the code of ethics
Prof. Rodolfo Rabor
a med tech must be capable of performing
the most basic to the most advanced lab tests
if there is a labelled STAT on the bottle, it is required to deliver the results within
30min to an 1hr
