App for updated pathology ‘manual’ launched
The new resource complements the recently released eighth edition of RCPA’s Manual of Use and Interpretation of Laboratory Tests.
The eighth edition of the Manual of Use and Interpretation of Laboratory Tests contains 586 pathology entries.
The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) has launched the eighth edition of its flagship clinical resource, as well as a companion mobile app.
The latest iteration of the Manual of Use and Interpretation of Laboratory Tests contains updates to 488 existing pathology test entries and 559 topic entries, the archiving of 78 outdated test entries, and the addition of 62 new test entries.
Overall, the manual contains 586 pathology entries, a reduction from 598 in the previous edition.
The manual’s editor, RCPA Fellow Clinical Professor John Burnett, said the eighth edition represents a ‘significant leap forward’.
‘The manual is particularly useful for GPs, providing them with updated and comprehensive information to make informed decisions about pathology testing,’ he said.
‘With the new app’s offline functionality, GPs in remote and regional areas can access critical information even without internet connectivity, enhancing their ability to deliver quality care.’
The manual was last updated in 2015.
