title: [JSCP Technical Committee on Laboratory Informatics; its 10th anniversary and future perspective].
abstract: The Technical Committee on Laboratory Informatics of the Japan Society of Clinical Pathology (JSCP) was established in 1988 by the late Professor Takaoki Miyati, Department of Clinical Laboratory Medicine, Yamaguchi University School of Medicine at the 35th JSCP Annual Meeting. Since then, the chairpersons have been succeeded by Prof. Nobuyoshi Matsuda (Kawasaki Medical University) and currently Prof. Masayuki Kambe (Hiroshima University School of Medicine). Open committee meetings have been held twice a year; the one during the JSCP Annual Meeting and the other independently in Spring. There have been many important subjects discussed at the past 20 meetings, including optical card utilization, laboratory information system, quality assurance in clinical laboratory, laboratory data base, outputs and presentations of laboratory results, reference values and intervals, medical support and expert systems for laboratory results, practice guidelines in laboratory medicine, laboratory support systems for medical education and research, and medical consultation in clinical laboratory. Roles of laboratory informatics will increase steadily in the circumstances of computer-multimedia networks.
