Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
It is intended that the class acquire computer skills that will allow them to correctly practice the support program for the management of the clinical analysis laboratory from the reception: Registration, user management, prices and co-payments; Communication channels between the reception, the equipment, and between the different units of the laboratory with the technical direction, the patient, the doctor, the entities (eg SINAVE, DGS). It is also intended that you acquire basic knowledge in the application of informatics in quality control, in the processing of laboratory data, in company management and in research.
Syllabus:
Module II 2.Information in the laboratory: 2.1 Reception, Worksheets, 2.2 Product screening 2.3Delivery of results confidentiality 3. Technical execution; 3.1 Calculations; 3.2 Results validation 3.3 final validation; Biopathological. New concept of analytical (historical) bulletin 4. Management of suppliers, 4.1 Invoicing and co-payments from different entities (ARS, ADSE).5.Quality control: 5.1 Records, 5.2 Statistics,5.3 Nonconformities.5.4 Results file Module 3: 1. Application of the concepts learned in Module 2 and their application in specific hospital areas of Clinical Pathology 2. Basic use of computer tools for data analysis in Research: Excel and SPSS
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
The syllabus taught divided into 3 modules (Basic Informatics, Computer Management in a Laboratory and Data Processing) are fully in accordance with the learning objectives of the curricular unit. The workload of each content (TP and P) is also adequate for the acquisition of knowledge and skills by students.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
Expository, interrogative and demonstrative. The guided case study is used, in order to correctly interpret and apply practical theoretical knowledge to real situations. The assessment of this curricular unit is carried out continuously during theoretical-practical and practical classes, through individual and/or group practical application work. Assessment system: The final grade (NF) is obtained by the following formula: NF = 0.7 x A + 0.20 x B + 0.1 x C. Where: A – Average of written tests; B – Average of work performed (Reports of laboratory work); C – Performance (assiduity/punctuality/completion of proposed tasks). - The learning outcomes of modules I, II and III are assessed by components A, B, C.
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
The teaching methodologies (theoretical presentation, debate and guidance of autonomous study and practical work) are fully in line with the objectives of the course. The workload of each of the contents is also adequate for the acquisition of knowledge and skills by students. The laboratory component reinforces knowledge and reinforces the acquisition of skills.
