Abstract:
Rapid technological change is transforming the world in which we live. Because laboratory services are defined by available products and tools of technology, this "technological revolution" is having a significant and profound effect on how clinical laboratories are organized, staffed, equipped, and operated. In this review, I discuss individually and collectively the advances and developments being made in the general areas of measurement, digital, communication, and transportation technology and demonstrate how the convergence of the products evolving from these technologies is affecting the clinical laboratory.
