Clinical laboratories are laboratories for re-engineering.

Abstract:

:The concept of re-engineering rests on computer coordination of information. As a management tool, it has been tested and found to be ambiguous. At best it sharpens laboratory objectives, but at worst it fragments skills and threatens the community attitudes needed for teamwork. Experience with its most fruitful components has long been a part of laboratory management.
