Study Notes
Classification of Laboratories
- Laboratories are classified based on ownership into Government and Private.
- Different classification criteria include ownership, function, institutional character, and service capability.
Functional Classifications
- Clinical Pathology and Anatomic Pathology represent classifications based on function, addressing different areas of medical analysis.
Institutional Character
- Laboratories can be either institution-based, such as those within hospitals, or freestanding, operating independently.
Service Capability
- Laboratories are classified based on their service capability into General and Special Clinical Laboratories, focusing on the extent of services offered.
General Clinical Laboratory Types
- General Clinical Laboratories can be further categorized into:
- Primary: Offering basic tests like CBC, WBC counts, routine urinalysis, and blood typing.
- Secondary: Providing more advanced tests such as clinical chemistry, quantitative platelet determination, and cross-matching.
- Tertiary: Performing specialized tests like immunology, microbiology, and advanced hematology.
Limited Service Capability
- Limited Service Capability labs, such as Dialysis Units and Social Hygiene Clinics, offer specific, narrow services.
Special Clinical Laboratories
- Special Clinical Laboratories include facilities like Assisted Reproduction Technology Labs and those focusing on Molecular Biology and Pathology, providing highly specialized services not available in general labs.
