    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 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
