For Further Progress in Clinical Examination
Our Department of Laboratory Medicine, Hokkaido University Medical
Hospital, accomplished a big evolution after its transfer to the new
building in March, 1997.
Most notable is that we much shortened the time until reporting
through inducing an automated laboratory system and opening the
central blood drawing room within our laboratory.
We now can return reports within minutes or hours, which is
convenient particularly to out patients from remote areas.
In the new building, many clinical examination laboratories once
apart from each other are now unified on a single floor,which has
made the co-operation among laboratory staffs better.
The man-power saved by the automated laboratory system was
effectively directed to starting the laboratories of genetics and of
medical information services, as well as blood drawing service by
laboratory technicians.
These new laboratories will be the basis for our higher services in
the 21st century.
We will keep active for various new challenges, such as
digitalization and networking in physiological examinations, and
contribute as the center hospital of Hokkaido to people living in
this vast area.
