Economic analysis in assessing technology in clinical laboratories.

G E Westlake

    Clinics in Laboratory Medicine
    |March 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Product-oriented cost analysis in clinical labs requires careful attention to approximate data. Key areas like supplies and personnel demand special scrutiny due to variability in cost components.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Laboratory Management
    • Healthcare Economics
    • Cost Analysis

    Background:

    • Economic decisions in clinical laboratories rely on accurate cost analysis.
    • Product-oriented cost analysis is a common method for evaluating laboratory economics.
    • Challenges exist in obtaining precise cost data within complex laboratory environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the importance of data accuracy in product-oriented cost analysis for clinical laboratories.
    • To identify specific areas within laboratory operations where cost data approximations are prevalent.
    • To emphasize the need for careful consideration of variable factors influencing cost projections.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of principles in product-oriented cost analysis.
    • Identification of common cost components and their imbedded nature in laboratory accounts.
    • Analysis of factors affecting the validity and accuracy of cost projections.

    Main Results:

    • Cost data in clinical laboratories often involves approximations.
    • Shared cost components across different activities can obscure accurate separation.
    • Projected costs are sensitive to the stability of the laboratory environment and data completeness.

    Conclusions:

    • Product-oriented cost analysis in clinical labs necessitates awareness of data limitations.
    • Supply and personnel costs are particularly susceptible to variations based on laboratory specifics.
    • Management policies and external factors significantly impact cost analysis accuracy.
