title: [Symposium 2: "Co-operation between clinical laboratory realms and knowledge intensive service"--Chairman's remarks].
abstract: Due to the advancement of technology, high-level accuracy and reliability have been realized in the clinical laboratory. Standardized assessment of the results is important in pathophysiological analysis rather than the interpretation of the results by each laboratory independently. Co-operation between clinical laboratory in exceeding the realms and knowledge intensiveness in the interpretation of the results could be needed. In addition, inter-professional work may be useful for the efficient use of the clinical laboratory.
