I'd still like to have an approach (and title) that got clinicians
involved as well as laboratory staff. Nearly all of the important
issues (KM (handbooks, guidelines), process reengineering (computerised
requesting by clinicians, escalation of reports, new communications
media)) affect both groups, and discussions are of limited impact if
one group isn't at the party.
