title: A multivariate laboratory data analysis system: introduction.
abstract: In an era severely affected by the advanced stages of technocracy, it should not astound anyone that highly sophisticated technologies have metastasized throughout our hospital system. While simplifying many complex problems, the advantages of modern technology also create many interesting conflicts. One such dilemma surfaces as a consequence of clinical laboratories being able to produce a large number of test results in a relatively short time with a high degree of accuracy. Optimization of laboratory information must precede successful utilization of this extensive and expensive wealth of data.
