Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
The objective of present study is to ascertain the Physical facilities and organization of Central Laboratory at a tertiary care centre. A mixed methodology utilizing observational study of relevant records and interview technique. The Central Laboratory is located on the ground floor, near the service core area of the hospital. The Biochemistry section occupies 679 SFT & headed by an additional Addl. Professor and the hematology section 525 SFT, is under the administrative control of main Hematology department. The Biochemistry section is having staff strength of 22 laboratory technicians/technologists and four Laboratory assistant. The hematology section is having five technician/technologist. The Central Laboratory is well lit by both artificial and natural light. The electric supply is well augmented by an emergency backup and stabilization system. Filtered water is readily available in the Central Laboratory in addition to the normal water supply which is supplied to other areas of the hospital. The ambient temperature of various working areas is maintained by an efficient air conditioning system. The central laboratory has adequate number of seating . The reagents used are licensed under the drug and cosmetic act of India.. Positive and negative controls are seen on every fresh batch of reagents used with every test run.70% of the total equipment is in working condition. The study reveals that a physical facility (location, space, design and layout) and staff strength of Central Laboratory at SKIMS is accordance with the prescribed norms and guideline. There is provision for future expansion. Central laboratory has well developed organizational structures consisting of well established hierarchical chain, channel, job specification, job description and co-ordinate mechanism in accordance with standard guidelines and principles of management.
