2. Because of advances in
technology, medical
technology has evolved at a
rapid pace.
In the recent history, numerous unfamiliar
diagnostic methods and laboratory tests have been
introduced as a result of both investigation on the
abecedarian pathogenesis of conditions and the
development of new techniques in themselves.

3. Clinical laboratories
represent an area of
healthcare that has always
undergone major changes
because of technological
advances and external
economic pressures.

5. vigorously and diversely challenged by
economic and current technological
pressures
take a broad view of the discipline
present to the directors the full
diapason of conditioning and benefits
Laboratory Medicine can give.
The future purpose of Laboratory
Medicine
It is essential to:

6. Undergoing a Paradigm Shift
Laboratories are easy prey for
profitable confinements and
limitations due to their
technological characteristics.

7. practice guideline formulation,
laboratory service restructuring, and
patient satisfaction measurement.
Understanding laboratory-related
outcomes permits the laboratory to
contribute in institutional quality
management including such:

2.
3.
Outcome of Laboratory Practices

8. Outcome of Laboratory Practices

9. Promoting the Laboratory-
Clinic Interface
ensure that the patient is
given high quality care
provides the boundary for
the multidisciplinary
activities

10. Three strategies have been recommended for
supporting and promoting clinical consultancy
in Laboratory Medicine:
1. use of reflex testing and algorithms;
2. providing interpretative comments; and
3. organisation of clinical audits.1

11. The increasing complexity of the health-care
environment, as well as the availability of an
ever-expanding array of laboratory tests, has
emphasized the demand for greater integration
of clinical and laboratory data.
