AACC: 直接检验需要更好的质量和病人友好性

美国临床化学协会(AACC)就“直接面向消费者”(DTC)化验发表了一份新的立场声明,强调报告单应该让病人看得懂,化验质量和结果质量应该有足够的透明度。

DTC化验让人们可以直接向实验室请求医疗化验,无需通过他们的私人医生。AACC注意到消费者的习惯发生了转换,他们希望对自身的医疗保健拥有更强的控制,因而发布了一份立场声明,强调DTC检验结果必须准确和容易理解,在这一领域医疗化验专业人员起着重要作用。

州法规定只有医师才能请求化验,但随着人们更多地参与管理自己的医疗保健,这一模型已经开始改变。现在37个州和哥伦比亚特区允许消费者请求部分或全部化验,无需医师介入。个人也能购买非处方试剂盒或在零售中心等非传统场合获得化验服务。这些DTC化验能以及时方便的方式告知个人他们的健康状态。然而,许多医院和政策制定者担心一部分检验质量和价值堪疑,或者担心消费者没有足够的背景知识基于检验结果做出正确决策。

为了加强患者的利益,AACC敦促美国医保和医疗补助服务中心以及美国食品药品管理局(FDA)要求DTC化验的提供者披露有关其产品和服务的足够信息,使消费者能够在充分知情的基础上做决策。这些供应商应该提供:以用户友好的方式描述所提供的全部检验项目的风险、优点和局限性;清楚而可理解的检验结果报告,辅助决策的足够信息;明确告诉消费者如有问题或疑虑速联系有资格的医疗单位;公开列出所提供的检验项目及其收费。

医疗化验专业人士对于这一消费者驱动的过程是不可或缺的。AACC鼓励医疗化验专业人员与联邦政府机构合作,告知公众DTC化验的费用、好处、解读和局限性。同样,消费者做有关自身健康的决策时应该咨询有资格的专业人员。

AACC CEO Janet B. Kreizman说:“现在正在让人们自主做出影响他们自身健康的决定,DTC化验是其中的一项关键元素。AACC支持让消费者享有高质量DTC化验服务,并敦促政策制定者确保这些服务在临床上有效且对病人预后产生积极影响。”
