Summary:

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. This first-of-its-kind book contains 50 chapters and is divided into ten sections. It is intended to provide an all-encompassing overview of management in a clinical laboratory and is written in a way that makes the content easy-to-comprehend, especially for those who have not been trained in the core management concepts. The book begins with an introduction to Laboratory Management and makes the reader familiar with the general aspect of management. Each section that follows focuses on an important aspect of laboratory management, including but not limited to human resource management, accounting and finance, quality control, laboratory hazards and safety, and more. Clinical Laboratory Management shall be a valuable resource for clinical laboratorians, students of medical laboratory technology, laboratory managers, and hospital managers. It aims to help readers understand the managerial aspects of a clinical laboratory and serve as more efficient clinical laboratory managers.
