During the past two years we have studied the characteristics of state and territorial public health laboratories in an attempt to develop guidelines for considering reorganization of laboratory services in Massachusetts. Only a few recent monographs have dealt with this topic and, to our knowledge, the functional and organizational characteristics of these laboratories have not been reviewed. The state public health laboratory system affords an excellent example of applied laboratory science or technology organized to provide basic public health services. In this paper the programs and organization of the state public health laboratory are reviewed, and a functional basis more responsive to society's current needs is suggested.
在过去两年里，我们研究了州和地区公共卫生实验室的特点，试图制定指导方针，以考虑对马萨诸塞州的实验室服务进行重组。最近只有几本专著涉及这个话题，据我们所知，这些实验室的功能和组织特点尚未得到审视。州公共卫生实验室系统为有组织地提供基本公共卫生服务的应用实验室科学或技术提供了一个绝佳范例。本文对州公共卫生实验室的项目和组织进行了审视，并提出了一个更能响应社会当前需求的功能基础。
