Health program for VIP's.

Abstract

The question about special health program for VIP's has been discussed several times. A definition of VIP is a key person either in top management or a person with unique competence in an organization. In small companies you find 5-10 VIP's, in bigger companies up to 50. Our customers indicated a positive interest in a new type of program. They were not satisfied with just a standard screening. They wanted more from screening than just dealing with symptoms of not wellbeing. Most of them had earlier joined different personal development programs. They find those programs useful with well-motivated reasons for change in life patterns. Therefore as a top management consultant, but also certified to work with lifestyle, stress and axiological profile, I was at that time training top management both as individuals and as a team. It was therefore easy for me to combine a personal development program with lifestyle-health screening. In our new program for VIP's we therefore work with both individuals and teams and with both health and personal development.

Testing for sexually transmitted diseases in U.S. Public health laboratories in 2004.

OBJECTIVE: Appropriate laboratory testing practices are a critical part of sexually transmitted disease (STD) control. GOAL: The goal of this study was to describe the type and volume of STD tests performed in public health laboratories in the United States in 2004. STUDY DESIGN: A web-based survey was made available to 144 members of the Association of Public Health Laboratories. RESULTS: One hundred fourteen laboratories responded (79%). Overall, 3,553,196 chlamydia tests and 3,461,151 gonorrhea tests were performed; 64.4% of chlamydia tests and 60.8% of gonorrhea tests were nucleic acid amplification tests. Ninety-four percent of laboratories performed syphilis testing. Few laboratories used type-specific tests for herpes simplex virus or used new tests for trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, or human papillomavirus. CONCLUSIONS: This survey collected important data that can be used to monitor trends in STD testing practices in public health laboratories.

Lab tests online--an untapped resource.

Since its launch in 2001, Lab Tests Online has evolved into the go-to site for consumer information about laboratory testing. In some circles, however, it still remains underutilized as an educational tool for patients. This month, editor-in-chief Anthony S. Kurec reviews the growth of Lab Tests Online and details its ongoing metamorphosis.
