Linne And Ringsrud's Clinical Laboratory Science

Medical laboratories not only assist the physicians in diagnosis and management of a disease but also play a role in community health. Apart from the analytical aspects of various investigations, the larger areas of human resource management, inventory management and the like have been gaining importance as a part of laboratory management. There is a felt need for an understanding of the managerial aspects of a clinical laboratory, especially in an institutional setting. Although this knowledge can be acquired from books on general management subject, there is a paucity of books dedicated to clinical laboratory management. Hence is a need for a simple and concise text for management in the clinical laboratory practice.
