Abstract:
:Workload recording as designed by the College of American Pathologists has proven to be an invaluable aid in the assessment of overall laboratory operation. The administrative information derived from the compilation of these workload statistics is utilized to provide effective and these workload statistics is utilized to provide effective and efficient laboratory management. A microcomputer-based system for the pathology department that permits the accumulation of daily raw workoad data is descirbed. A monthly cummulative summary report is subsequently produced, complete with computer-derived College of American Pathologists workload units.
