Grounded Theory in Medical Laboratory Science Expert Practice Development

Abstract: Grounded theory and methods related to expert practice development in medical laboratory science were described using data from a large national survey of medical laboratory scientists (MLS) overlaid on findings from analysis of expert practice domains reported in nursing literature. An extensive focus group/expert review iterative process followed by a survey of MLS practitioners produced 25 critical thinking (CT) behaviors important in expert practice. Factor analysis was applied to discern common threads or… Show more

“…16 There is an equally compelling mandate to provide these evidence-based algorithms to providers and patient/consumers for their use in shared clinical decision-making for more completely understood, value-based, informed consent. 17,18,19 In the U.S. healthcare system, healthcare providers traditionally order laboratory tests without benefit of evidence-based testing algorithms. This structure causes an inherent conflict of interest with significant ethical dimensions: practitioners are incentivized to order more frequent and often more expensive, higher profit margin tests in order to support healthcare decisions.…”

“…Correlation of CT with expert practice in nursing and in the clinical laboratory includes technical capability, professional accountability, priority setting, judgment, and managing tasks in a changing environment. 4,5 Teaching critical thinking Appropriate educational methods to develop increased critical thinking have been debated. Results on standardized CT assessments have not consistently correlated with General Education grades, 6 and critical thinking assessments which were not subject-specific did not correlate with professional competency 7 suggesting that CT instruction and assessment should occur during discipline-specific education.…”

“…Benner (1984) identifies themes associated with expertness such as critical thinking and intuition. According to Leibach (2011) critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skilfully conceptualizing, applying, analysing, synthesizing and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection and reasoning. This is important in expert practice development with intuition and reflexivity also being elements of expertness.…”
