Independent medical laboratories generally have to pass strict quality system certification, such as IS0 17025 national laboratory accreditation and IS0900 1: 2000 international quality system certification. At present, there are many independent medical laboratories in China, but they are still in the development stage for developed countries and regions.
Extended data
Independent laboratory is essentially a service industry. Although different enterprises have different emphasis on testing items, on the whole, homogenization is still serious. Therefore, in the coastal areas where in vitro diagnosis outsourcing business is developed, the competition is fierce, while the central and western regions are basically blank.
Compared with the services of laboratory and pathology departments in big hospitals, independent medical laboratories are favored by customers for their large-scale and market-oriented operation, seamless door-to-door service and perfect consultation and answering service, so hospitals have cooperated with independent medical laboratories to outsource medical diagnosis services to independent medical laboratories with higher specialization and scale.
Put more time and energy into improving your clinical treatment level. Based on the above reasons, in the middle and late 1980s, the prototype of non-socialized independent medical laboratories appeared in China, which achieved good social and economic benefits, and then a number of independent medical laboratories appeared in various places, but none of them formed a scale.
It was not until the beginning of this century that a socialized independent medical laboratory was really born in China, which gained scale advantage through chain development.
