Noun
●
In Medicine:
The
principal
subset
of
medical
practice
,
comprising
all
aspects
of
medicine
that
happen
at the point of
care,
as opposed to
the
aspects
that
happen
in the
clinical
laboratory
,
imaging
center
,
medical school
classroom
,
data
center
, or other
nonclinical
settings
; thus,
for example
, the
radiology
service and the
pathology
service are
conceptually
differentiable
,
such that
the
clinical
components
of the
diagnostic
process (e.g;
history
,
physical examination
,
point of care
testing
) are
categorizable
as
distinct
from the
nonclinical
ones
that
interface
with the
clinical
activity
(e.g.,
radiologic
interpretation
,
histopathologic
analysis,
data
analysis).
