4. Planning gains economical operation 2. Idle machines
5. Planning facilitates control 3. Materials wasted
6. Planning helps executive development 4. Some machines doing jobs that should be
done by smaller machines
QUALITIES OF A GOOD PLANNER 5. Some laboratory personnel overworked,

others are underworked
1. Proficiency in the determination of objectives
6. Skilled workers doing unskilled work
2. Good judgement, imagination, foresight and
experience 7. Laboratory Personnel fumbling on jobs for
which they have not been trained
3. Ability to evaluate laboratory opportunities
and hazards 8. Quarreling, bickering, buck-passing and
confusion
4. Ability to accept changes
Benefits of Good Planning  Interaction

responsibility DESIGN
2. Tactical Plans 1. A specimen collection area should be

planned in proximity of the ambulatory care
- action and deals with the method(s)
facility and patient entrance as possible
2. The specimen processing ( accessioning) area
should be located at or near the entrance to be
used by the phlebotomists and or other staff
bringing laboratory specimens to the laboratory
3. The specimen receiving, data processing and

reporting center serve as the hub of the
laboratory
4. Laboratory departments (such as Clinical

Chemistry, Hematology, and Coagulation) which
have highly automated instrumentation
processes and manual processes is desirable to
centralize the automated processing area.
5. Those laboratories with greater turn-around

–time (TAT) and or less volume, as well as those
requiring special safety features (such as Clinical
Microbiology, and radio assay and radio-assay
laboratories) might be removed from the
central area
6. The blood bank and the critical care

laboratory procedures should be readily
accessible to the emergency room. Operating
room, and ICU. The location of blood bank
should allow rapid access of donors and
adequate parking donors if the blood bank is
responsible for donor procurement,
phlebotomy and/ or apheresis
7. If the laboratory is serving an in-patient

population, accessibility to corridors and
elevators providing access to the main patient
care unit is essential.
8. The intralaboratory traffic flow must be

separated from the outside. Provisions should
be made for ambulatory patients and blood
bank donors coming into the laboratory
