Since this health condition could be caused by a number of different  infectious agents, physicians&mdash;and their clinical laboratories&mdash;must often  perform multiple diagnostic tests.<\/div><p>&nbsp;<\/p><div>That takes time, often doesn&rsquo;t  deliver a definitive diagnosis if the right infectious agent assays were  not requested, and can frustrate both physician and patient.  Clinical laboratory testing plays a crucial diagnostic role in  healthcare in the United States. That&rsquo;s good news for pathologists,  laboratory directors, and laboratory scientists. With the advancements  in technology, laboratory test results are helping physicians make  earlier and more accurate diagnoses. Numerous new diagnostic tests are  available in the clinical marketplace.<\/div><p>&nbsp;<\/p><div>However, few of these assays  possess the right combination of increased sensitivity, reasonable test  cost, and the ability to significantly contribute to clinical care.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.darkreport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Dark Report<\/strong><\/a> is happy to offer our readers a chance to download our recently published FREE White Paper &ldquo;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tissuepathology.com\/weblog\/post.php?post=7168&amp;action=edit#Formhttp:\/\/www.darkdaily.com\/white-papers\/vaginitis-diagnosis-an-opportunity-to-improve-patient-care#Form\" target=\"_blank\">Vaginitis Diagnosis: An Opportunity to Improve Patient Care<\/a>&rdquo;  at absolutely no charge. This free download will provide readers with a  detailed overview of current legal challenges that your lab may  encounter in the near future.<\/div><p>&nbsp;<\/p><div><strong>Pathologists  and clinical laboratory scientists recognize how important it is that  new diagnostic assays fit the following criteria:<\/strong><\/div><div><ul><li>Improved sensitivity and specificity over existing lab testing technologies.<\/li><li>Faster turnaround time to a complete result.<\/li><li>Specimen collection methods that are easier to use, safer to transport, and\/or have a longer shelf life.<\/li><li>Easier for the laboratory to perform, preferably with automation available.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div>Whenever all of these criteria are met, it presents clinical  laboratories with the opportunity to hit a &ldquo;diagnostic home run&rdquo; with  referring physicians. An example would the diagnosis of vaginitis.  Currently there are several tests available for the detection of the  causative agents for vaginitis, but few tests are available for the  simultaneous detection of these causative agents from one collected  specimen. Such a test would be of significant benefit to the clinician  and patient, as multiple specimens would not have to be collected.<\/div><p><em>Every  pathologist and laboratory scientist should evaluate this assay and  review the clinical guidelines that call for its use in diagnostic and  treatment decisions for vaginitis.
