Enhanced capabilities of modern information systems will have a major impact on the way that clinical laboratories generate diagnostic information and transmit that information to their physician clients. This article provides a perspective on how some of the most imminent changes in informatics are likely to alter laboratory practices and to create new roles for the clinical laboratory through the ability to manage vast quantities of information. The areas covered include utilization of laboratory services, process control in the laboratory, interpretation of test results, and laboratory economics.
现代信息系统能力的增强将对临床实验室生成诊断信息以及将该信息传输给其医生客户的方式产生重大影响。本文就信息学中一些最紧迫的变化如何可能改变实验室操作，并通过管理大量信息的能力为临床实验室创造新角色提供了一个视角。涵盖的领域包括实验室服务的利用、实验室的过程控制、检测结果的解读以及实验室经济学。
