title: [Effective management and its counter plan in clinical laboratories].
abstract: The effective management for clinical laboratories at Kitasato University Hospital in these seven years was reported. To improve the economical efficiency, I pointed out that it is important to improve the efficiency of the laboratory work and to reorganize the clinical laboratory. In addition, we may have to take advantage of contract tests in consideration of profit-and-loss. On the other hand, it is desirable among the clinicians to improve emergency tests, to support their research, to consult on the test results and to ask for any additional interpretations of the obtained data. A system that can satisfy their needs should be established.
