“…In certain circumstances the clinician needs more rapid diagnostic information. Easily performed monoclonal antibody based diagnostic tests are established in various fields 1,2 but have not been used by clinicians in the emergency department in diagnosis of potentially HIV positive patients 3,4,5,6,7 . This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness and practicality of clinicians performing such tests in a busy emergency department.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness and practicality of clinicians performing rapid whole blood agglutination tests for the detection of HIV antibodies in a busy emergency department. Methods:: Seventy seven patients agreed to participate in the study. Specimens from each were tested separately in the reference laboratory as well as in the Emergency Department. A different clinician performed the rapid test from the one who had collected the specimen. No investigator knew the status of the serum tested. Results:: Seventy of those tested were negative on both series of tests. Seven tested positive on both the rapid and laboratory tests. Conclusion: The rapid testing of blood for HIV antibodies within the emergency department is an essential diagnostic tool which easily and reliably determines the need for specific therapies in acutely ill patients.

Asthma is a common condition associated with significant patient morbidity and health care costs. Although widely accepted evidence-based guidelines for asthma management exist, unnecessary variation in patient care remains. Application of biomedical informatics techniques is one potential way to improve care for asthmatic patients. We performed a systematic literature review to identify computerized applications for clinical asthma care. Studies were evaluated for their clinical domain, developmental stage and study design. Additionally, prospective trials were identified and analyzed for potential study biases, study effects, and clinical study characteristics. Sixty-four papers were selected for review. Publications described asthma detection or diagnosis (18 papers), asthma monitoring or prevention (13 papers), patient education (13 papers), and asthma guidelines or therapy (20 papers). The majority of publications described projects in early stages of development or with non-prospective study designs. Twenty-one prospective trials were identified, which evaluated both clinical and non-clinical impacts on patient care. Most studies took place in the outpatient clinic environment, with minimal study of the emergency department or inpatient settings. Few studies demonstrated evidence of computerized applications improving clinical outcomes. Further research is needed to prospectively evaluate the impact of using biomedical informatics to improve care of asthmatic patients.
