Hematology: Laboratory Management and Practice - Hardcover

Each paper is 'stand alone' and yet complements the subjects before and after it to create a complete reference to standard practices in haematology. This book will make a valuable addition to any bookshelf.

..highly readable... ..short in terms of verbiage. It is certainly not short in terms of erudition or information content. The principal virtue of this book is its presentation of subject matter that is vitally important and immediately relevant to the practice of laboratory haematology but covered inadquately in haematology laboratory manuals, as well as in standard clinical haematology and haematopathology textbooks.
Clinical and Laboratory Haematology, 1996

There is a growing awareness of the importance of organisation and management in present day laboratory practice. As automated instruments increasingly take over the routine technology of the diagnostic laboratory and budgetary restrictions become of
primary importance, the laboratory staff must become skilled in organisation and administration of their service, in selection of apporpriate equipment, quality assurance, and clinical relevance of the tests and their interpretation. This book
recongises that the practice of haematology has clinical and laboratory components both of equal importance in providing effective health care and patient management. The chapters are thus focused on applications of clinical medicine to haematology
laboratories, including coagulation and transfusion medicine. They emphasise the key role of the haematologist both in the clinical applications of the current technology laboratory haematology. Written by internationally recognised experts under the auspices of the 'International Council for Standardization in Hematology', this book is relevant to hematology laboratories world-wide. Written primarily for haematologists, this book should also prove invaluable reading for clinical pathologists, blood tranfusionists, laboratory managers and health administrators managers.
