ONE. Intensification in hospital laboratories. Some of the not very tight and small projects concentrated in some large laboratories, large laboratories may further form a network and groups.
TWO. Reduction in staff. Developed countries, high costs are personnel costs.
THREE. External pressure. Government and patients will exert greater pressure. They called the medical profession can provide more efficient and cheaper service.
FOUR. Reduce unnecessary testing, and screening current project. Deleting some unnecessary, duplication and items of little value projects. e.g CPT Code in USA contains some of the clinical usefulness projects timely, as paid health insurance is often based on this. Rigorous review by FDA on new projects and new technologies, although they are new but are not reliable, or little clinical value, market activity is not allowed, maybe only to scientific research, but not to charge patients.
FIVE. Total Laboratory Automation. This is to reduce labor and improve efficiency the most effective way. In this laboratory, staff require comprehensive testing technical operations, and equipment repair and maintenance capabilities, as well as certain managerial and computer skills.
SIX. Strengthen the standardization, standard document and technology operating specifications for additional in the future, to be able to make more consistent laboratory test results. Technically, Molecular Diagnostics and Soware will be one of the most attractive development in the twenty-first century.
