The office laboratory has experienced an explosive growth in this decade as a result of technological advances and changes in reimbursement and regulatory practices. An evaluation of currently available methods, however, suggests that tests appropriate for the pediatric office laboratory today are similar to those recommended in a critical appraisal of pediatric laboratory medicine in 1974. This underscores the fact that the patient and not the technology dictates the tests to be performed.
在这十年中，由于技术进步、报销方式的改变以及监管措施的调整，门诊实验室得到了迅猛发展。然而，对现有方法的评估表明，如今适用于儿科门诊实验室的检测项目与1974年对儿科检验医学进行的一次批判性评估中所推荐的项目相似。这突出了一个事实，即决定进行何种检测的是患者，而非技术。
