摘要: The impact of quality control procedures on the workload and cost clinical laboratory during last decade is explored. Quality are shown to represent a relatively constant share test for acute care admissions. effect automation testing in has been reduce units per thus relative total costs incurred by control. need assess changes against any change output emphasized.
