摘要：

Healthcare is changing and clinical laboratory testing must change with it. In no discipline is this change more profound than in hematology. The principles of total quality management (TQM) including continuous quality improvement, reengineering and strategic planning can facilitate these changes. In the past, hematology has often been exlcuded from these processes due to its many manual procedures and the degree of expertise and skill needed to perform the testing. As automated technology continues to evolve, hematology testing, like other testing, will become integrated into the core, clinical laboratory. We suggest TQM can, and should, guide the way.
