What is an example of healthcare workers using technical skills for the direct care of a patient?

Technical skills involve using specialized healthcare knowledge and procedures to assess or treat a patient. Conducting a physical exam and lab test directly evaluates the patient’s health, so it is direct care using technical skills. Scheduling an appointment is administrative, while talking by phone or moving a patient may provide support but does not best illustrate the use of clinical technical skills.
