Book Description
A Guide to Technical Consulting for the Clinical Laboratory offers consulting guidance to provide regulatory instruction to qualified individuals, especially medical technologists who want to pursue a career as a technical consultant for a clinical laboratory. Cathy Manske has more than 40 years' experience working in the field of medical technology as a laboratorian, researcher, and consultant. A Wisconsin transplant to Arizona, she was educated at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, receiving a B.S. in medical technology. Her early work experience was as a generalist in hospitals, and then specializing in microbiology and virology, ultimately becoming a technical consultant to physicians whose offices implemented in-house clinical laboratories. In 2003, she created and incorporated Clinical Laboratory Consultants, Ltd. Since then, she has helped set up more than 60 physicians' office laboratories of varying specialties including pediatric, cardiac, internal, rheumatoid, OBGYN, oncology, endocrinology, urology, and family practice. She also set up six reference laboratories. In addition to starting up clinical labs, she consults with over 20 laboratories in an ongoing technical consultant capacity, and occasionally serving as laboratory director. She successfully guides her clients to full CLIA compliance, while ensuring both accurate testing analysis and profitability. Beyond her thorough knowledge of standard lab practices and prevailing state and federal regulations, the author's strength lies in communicating effectively with CLIA inspectors, doctors, administrators, and laboratory staff. Cathy L. Manske hopes her book will encourage more medical technologists and qualified professionals to pursue the field of laboratory technical consulting. This is her first book.

Book Description
This series is directed to healthcare professionals who are leading the tra- formation of health care by using information and knowledge. Launched in 1988 as Computers in Health Care, the series offers a broad range of titles: some addressed to specific professions such as nursing, medicine, and health administration; others to special areas of practice such as trauma and radi- ogy. Still other books in the series focus on interdisciplinary issues, such as the computer-based patient record, electronic health records, and networked healthcare systems. Renamed Health Informatics in 1998 to reflect the rapid evolution in the discipline now known as health informatics, the series will continue to add titles that contribute to the evolution of the field. In the series, eminent - perts, serving as editors or authors, offer their accounts of innovations in health informatics. Increasingly, these accounts go beyond hardware and so- ware to address the role of information in influencing the transformation of healthcare delivery systems around the world. The series also increasingly focuses on “peopleware” and the organizational, behavioral, and societal changes that accompany the diffusion of information technology in health services environments.
