title: [Consultation service of clinical laboratory in Hirosaki University Hospital].
abstract: For clinical laboratories, it has become important to place an emphasis on consultation service as well as quality management. Because everyday there arise various questions and complains among customers toward clinical laboratories in any kind of hospitals. The present clinical examinations are enormous and updated rapidly. Busy clinicians and nurses hardly cover them. In order to support attentive medical practice as clinical laboratory professionals, we have set the working committee of the clinical laboratory operation for more than 10 years. The committee, comprising laboratory experts and practitioners from our hospital, has worked very well to make a mutual interrelationship among the hospital staffs. In this paper, we introduce our consultation service through the committee of the clinical laboratory operation including a rare but meaningful request.
