진단검사의학과의 검사분야별 기능과 검사흐름도에 대한 연구

A Study on the Function and Workflow of Laboratory Sections for Clinical Laboratory Design

Abstract

Purpose: Clinical laboratory in hospital has taken a great role in protection of chronic disease. as well as diagnosis and treatment, And laboratory layout has been considered by the management and laboratory section more than the function and workflow. Methods: So this study figures out the workflows of laboratory sections in the recently upgraded Laboratory Medicine, and searches the functional relationships and spatial block diagram between each disciplines as follows. Literature review and expert adviser has been conducted. Results: 1) Laboratory type of Laboratory Medicine is divided into routine and specialized laboratory according to the workflow by automated or specialized test. 2) The general workflow consists of specimen collection, specimen classification, test by discipline, test report, and specimen disposal. 3) Though the function of each laboratory section is very complicated and specific, the characteristics and the workflow can be shown in detail by each lab through [Figure 4], [Figure 5], [Figure 6], [Figure 7], and [Figure 8]. 4) Functional relationship diagram can be displayed to the adjacency and relation between each laboratory and support spaces. 5) The spatial block diagram could be presented as shown in [Figure 10], in which the emergency lab lay in front side, routine lab in the central open area, and specialized lab in the behind side. Implications: This study can be used as a useful data in planning and designing a Laboratory Medicine Department.
