5 mmol/L), while men show an increase in plasma triglycerides, glycerol, and free fatty acids, with no significant change in plasma cholesterol. When determining blood constituents such as glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, and electrolytes, collection should be done in the basal state (Garza, 1989). Eating a meal, depending on fat content, may elevate plasma potassium, triglycerides, alkaline phosphatase, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA). Stool occult blood tests, which detect heme, are affected by the intake of meat, fish, iron, and horseradish, a source of peroxidase, causing a false-positive occult blood reaction (Dufour, 2003).
This is needed to compare “testing demand” versus “instrument capacity” and can help determine optimal instrument configuration. these future enhancements may seem attractive, they may not materialize, so they should not be a primary reason for choosing technology. A better approach is to delay purchasing the system until it can offer the laboratory the capabilities it needs. Another potential mistake is overestimating a technology’s lifetime or usefulness because this will underestimate its true cost.
Consolidation, integration, and standardization are three key interrelated strategies that have assumed increasing importance in recent years as laboratories have become affiliated with one another through large health care networks. These concepts are also relevant to a single facility. 20 Consolidation. Testing can be consolidated from multiple sites or workstations in a single facility, or selected tests from many facilities can be centralized in one or more locations. Consolidation creates larger sample batches or runs; this improves testing efficiency in that fixed quality control and calibration costs are distributed over more samples.
