Clinical Chemistry Work-Load Control Factors

[摘要] An analytic study of work-load factors in clinical chemistry shows that there are many elements involved. An average of 6.3 to 6.5 tests per man hour were obtained when clinical chemistry and urinalyses were combined. For clinical chemistry alone the tests per man hour averaged 3.1 in a hospital servicing patients with chronic diseases and 4.7 in a general hospital. The breakdown of a standard laboratory man hour in clinical chemistry included 49.3 minutes for the collection and determinative tests; the remaining time included vacations, training, personnel needs, nontechnical duties, and other items.
