healthcare than a clinical laboratory. Leisurely practices are prone to poor healthcare value which drives down patient satisfaction and drives up costs, hence affecting an entities profitable margin. Laboratory experts can define two phases of value when discussing the production of laboratory testing as either value-added or non-value added. Generally, value added is only beneficial when a patient or providers recognizes laboratory revisions, that new changes transform the medical data…

Clinical laboratory professionals perform a wide range of tests to provide information for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Laboratory tests are classified into four major areas: microbiology, blood banking, clinical chemistry and hematology. Clinical laboratory professionals collect and process specimens, perform tests, analyze and interpret results, and report data.

different. The field of medical technology consists of analyzing a variety of blood, tissue, body fluid and microorganism samples. “Preparing the samples for examination, using automated equipment and specialized instrumentation, performing numerous complicated tests simultaneously, and accurately interpreting the results are all part of a medical technologist’s job” (Medical Technologist). They identify specific microorganisms to pin point specific diseases, although medical technologists do…

Safety standards within a laboratory should be designed in a way that eliminates risks due to using potentially dangerous practices or procedures and dangerous materials. All laboratories are potentially dangerous places, and it is the actions and attitudes of those working there that determine their safety and that of their colleagues and ultimately of the whole community.
