114 4ABRAMED BRAZILIAN MARKET OF DIAGNOSTIC MEDICINE PANEL Tests needed for fast, accurate diagnosis - Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases (DCNT) are the leading cause of premature mortality and disability in Brazil and worldwide. Ac- cording to the World Health Organization, seven out of ten people die worldwide each year from NCDs. Among the top 10 causes of death in high-income countries, nine were due to NCDs. In absolute terms, 78% of the number of deaths from NCDs occurred in low- and middle-income countries. Studies indicate that the burden of these diseases can be reduced by reducing risk factors, early diag- nosis and appropriate treatment. In this sense, the control of signs by diagnostic tests is an important instrument, capable of promo- ting not only the patient’s well-being, but also reducing the total expenditure on health care.

117 Cardiovascular diseases Holter is an exam used to evaluate variations in rhythm and heart rate that occur over a given period. It is a small portable device that continuously measures and records heart activity for 24 or 48 hours, depending on the type of monitoring indicated. Generally, the test is indicated for at-risk patients to investigate arrhythmias or dysrhythmia; dizziness symptoms and/or palpitations or when congenital cause is suspected. The results of using a Holter will help your doctor decide if further testing or appropriate treatment is needed. In 2018, 1.3 million Holter-type tests were performed in the < supplementary health market, a 7.0% increase over the previous year, when 1.2 million were performed.

Lack of interoperability can stop the flow of the diagnostic process as it tends to limit or delay access to data available for clinical decision making. When health systems do not share data, clinical and diagnostic information may be inadequate if unavailable, requiring further testing and procedures to ensure appropriate management. Inconsistent and slow adoption of standards, particularly among organizations that are not subject to Electronic Health Record (EHR) certification programs, make it difficult and can make interoperability unfeasible.
