The Fall Diagnostics Section Bulletin is now available:
https://www.aarc.org/sections/diagnostics/bulletins/2014/fall/
The fall issue features more great contributions from section members. Elizabeth Koch BHS RRT RPFT discusses pediatric metabolic testing and Holly Wilson RPFT sheds light on the rationale for exercise testing. The Quarterly Case Report covers several issues regarding test quality including technologist oversight, responding to non-physiologic values, and avoiding software quality feedback fatigue.
I'm currently looking for articles for the spring issue, please contact me if you have any ideas for articles or a quarterly case report to submit.
Coming this winter: Creating Levey-Jennings Plots for Biologic Controls in Excel by Jennifer Weltz Horpendahl, RRT-NPS, RPFT, AE-C
If you conduct pulmonary function testing and are not a member of the Diagnostics Specialty Section you're really missing out on a lot of great educational opportunities. Yearly memberships are $15 or about 4 cents/day, that's less than a.............everything!
