title: Workload, space, and personnel of hematology laboratories in teaching hospitals.
abstract: The resources needed to operate a hematology laboratory are known only as rough approximations. To gather more information about these resources, a 13-page questionnaire was completed by 50 pathology departments, of which, 34 departments provided adequate information about their hematology sections to permit data analysis. This study reports results for resource and work load factors and significant regression analyses among these factors for the whole hematology section and the subsections of coagulation, special hematology, and bone marrow examination. These data provide a basis for evaluating the current needs of hematology laboratories and for making projections for the future.
