What is a PCR test? PCR means polymerase chain reaction. It's a test to detect genetic material from a specific organism, such as a virus. The test detects the presence of a virus if you have the virus at the time of the test. The test could also detect fragments of the virus even after you are no longer infected.
PCR is used in molecular biology to make many copies of (amplify) small sections of DNA? or a gene?. Using PCR it is possible to generate thousands to millions of copies of a particular section of DNA from a very small amount of DNA. PCR is a common tool used in medical and biological research labs.
The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is part of a federally mandated process for clinical assessment of all residents in Medicare or Medicaid certified nursing homes. This process entails a comprehensive, standardized assessment of each resident's functional capabilities and health needs.
Upon delivery of the patient in the medical facility, under ideal circumstances the EMT will complete a full PCR containing all of the patients data, obtain a transfer-of-care signature from the medical professional who is assuming responsibility, and leave a copy of the full report with the facility.
As well as the times of the assessments and treatments provided, the PCR should include detailed signs and symptoms and other assessment findings such as vital signs, and all the specific emergency care provided. Also documented are changes in patient condition after treatment.
