NGS-based Diagnosis in Clinical Microbiology

Next-generation sequencing has been recognized for its excellent performance in diagnosing human genetic diseases, and its clinical use is expanding. In the field of clinical microbiology, it is also useful for infectious disease diagnosis and epidemiology, healthcare-associated infection control, and also the epidemiology and infection control of infections that are important to public health. Although it is still at the research level, microbiome analysis is being used to identify the relationship between the body's normal flora and fauna in the growth and development of the human body, including development of the nervous and immune systems, and also various dysbiosis-related disease conditions. In this session, we would like to demonstrate the usefulness of next generation sequencing technology for infectious disease diagnostics and research through real-world case studies. The level of lecture is aimed at residents, specialists, and professors with expertise in laboratory medicine.

Practice Characteristics and Relative Value of Laboratory Physicians

We aim to review the practice characteristics and relative value of laboratory physician’s work in the current status of laboratory medicine. We seek to systematically categorize the tasks of laboratory medicine in the pre-, intra-, and post-analytic phases, establishing a consistent classification system for procedures. We plan to redefine individual procedures in the pre-, intra-, and post-analytic phases for representative items in various fields among recently developed and existing tests. Furthermore, we discuss comprehensive procedures that can encompass the entire field of laboratory medicine. We compare the workload, considering recent test volumes, with the existing data on physician workload analysis. Through this session, we aim to understand the actions and work value of laboratory physicians in preparation for changes in the value-based fee schedule system.
