Review Description This weighty tome is truly a complete and up-to-date
reference for clinical laboratory management. Purpose The purpose is to
provide “comprehensive, practical information and guidelines for healthcare
management in the 21st century.” These worthy objectives are well met by
this book. Audience The book is intended for anyone involved in clinical
laboratories, from students to medical, clinical laboratory scientists,
pathology or laboratory medicine residents. It should also be of interest
to administrators in healthcare organizations or anyone in
healthcare-related businesses to gain insight into the complexities of
effectively managing a clinical laboratory. Features First of all, this
book is the size and weight of ASM’s Manual of Clinical Microbiology back
when it was a single volume, or Henry’s Clinical Diagnosis and Management
by Laboratory Methods, 22nd edition, McPherson and Pincus (Elsevier, 2011)
or Tietz Textbook of Clinical Chemistry and Molecular Diagnostics, 5th
edition, Burtis et al. (Elsevier,2012) ― over 1,000 pages, and every page
is worthwhile. This is the book to burrow into if you really want to learn
clinical laboratory management. It covers all aspects in substantial
detail, and I am not aware of another similar book in this field. There is
a lot of really valuable information. The section on managerial leadership
with chapters on motivating through intelligent leadership, effective
meetings, and conflict management make me wish I had this during residency
to use as a foundational reference instead of having to learn all this on
the job over the past few decades. The sections on financial management,
generation revenue, profitability, contribution, and reimbursement ― where
else would you find this information specifically for clinical laboratories
and all in one place? And the final section, on the future of clinical
laboratories with major contributions from Paul Bachner and Des Burke,
legends in laboratory medicine, sharing their perspectives? Of course, with
Lynne Garcia as editor in chief, this book meets her exacting standards for
excellence. Many of the chapters come with very instructive case studies
which I used to reality-check my own management style. The chapter on
performance appraisals and competency assessment has fantastic forms.
Assessment All in all, this is a wonderful book. Sorry to say, I was
unaware of the first edition. Meanwhile, I highly, highly, highly recommend
this edition for anyone with any laboratory management responsibility. It
is simply superb. Weighted Numerical Score: 89 – 3 Stars Review Date:

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ This book could be sorted into two categories:1. So vague and generalized
that I learned nothing from certain chapters2. So detailed and in-depth
that there was no way to retain all the regulatory information.The book is
highly disorganized. The regulatory chapters are hard to follow and too
densely packed. The chapters on actually managing people are full of fluff
like “have integrity,” as if everyone doesn’t already know that lying is
bad.I actually learned more from a management podcast than I did from this
book.If I didn’t have to have this for a class, I would have returned it
within a week.

⭐ Great Ref.

⭐ Everyone in Lab management should have this book.

⭐ Nice, informatics book .

⭐ If you plan on obtaining a management position within a Laboratory, you
need this book.

⭐ Purchased for Higher learning. As described
