Until recently, technological advances in general practice have generally been thought of as the applications of microcomputers in practice organization and record keeping. Advances in miniaturization and versatility of diagnostic technology will have a similarly large impact on the way general practitioners practice medicine in the next decade. This article reviews some of the newer tests that are already available to general practitioners, particularly in diagnostic biochemistry and microbiology. Preliminary evaluative work and research studies in general practice are also described.
直到最近，人们普遍认为普通医疗中的技术进步主要是指微型计算机在实践组织和记录保存方面的应用。诊断技术在小型化和多功能性方面的进展，在未来十年也将对全科医生的行医方式产生同样巨大的影响。本文回顾了一些全科医生已经可以使用的更新的检测方法，特别是在诊断生物化学和微生物学方面的方法。还描述了普通医疗中的初步评估工作和研究。
