There is a growing awareness of the importance of organisation and management in present day laboratory practice. As automated instruments increasingly take over the routine technology of the diagnostic laboratory and budgetary restrictions become of primary importance, the laboratory staff must become skilled in organisation and administration of their service, in selection of apporpriate equipment, quality assurance, and clinical relevance of the tests and their interpretation. This book recongises that the practice of haematology has clinical and laboratory components both of equal importance in providing effective health care and patient management. The chapters are thus focused on applications of clinical medicine to haematology laboratories, including coagulation and transfusion medicine. They emphasise the key role of the haematologist both in the clinical applications of the current technology laboratory haematology. Written by internationally recognised experts under the auspices of the 'International Council for Standardization in Hematology', this book is relevant to hematology laboratories world-wide. Written primarily for haematologists, this book should also prove invaluable reading for clinical pathologists, blood tranfusionists, laboratory managers and health administrators managers.
