Dept. of Industrial Engineering. Medical laboratories Pathological laboratories -- Management Pathological laboratories Thesis (MIng) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1998. The past 50 years have seen the world-wide establishment of large and centralised facilities providing clinical laboratory services at a relatively low cost per test to the health care market. In South Africa there has been the amalgamation of three independent pathology groups (Drs. du Buisson & Partners, Drs. Bruïnette, Kramer & Partners and Drs. Bouwer & Partners) to utilise their combined volumes and regional networks to achieve economies of scale and scope. These pathology laboratories face the opposing challenges of increased expectations from professionals using the laboratory and the drive from the funders of health care that demand a fast and accurate service at a lower cost. The advantages of value adding by performing routine testing at the peripheral sites are declining as the cost of providing this service increases. Through the re-engineering of the organisation and the integration of the physical and virtual value chain it is becoming increasingly possible to centralise the routine pathology tests in order to contain the cost of producing these results. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In die afgelope 50 jaar het daar wêreldwyd groot, gesentraliseerde fasiliteite tot stand gekom wat kliniese laboratoriumdienste teen 'n relatiewe lae koste per toets aan die gesondheidsorgmark verskaf het. In Suid-Afrika was daar die amalgamasie van drie onafhangklike geïkorporeerde patologie praktyke (Drs. du Buisson & Vennote, Drs. Bruïnette, Kramer & Vennote en Dr. Bouwer & Vennote) wat deur die samesmelting van hulle volumes (omsette) en nasionale netwerke ekonomieë van skaal en omvang wou bewerkstellig. Patologie laboratoriums staar twee teenoorgestelde uitdagings in die gesis. Aan die eenkant van die skaal is daar die verhoogde verwagtings van die kliënte wat gebruik maak van die laboratoriums, en aan die ander kant is daar die befondsers wat die laboratoriumdiens teen 'n laer koste wil hê snder om kwaliteit nadelig te beïnvloed. Die voordele wat verkry is deur roetine toetse in perifere laboratoriums te doen, is besig om minder aantreklik te word namate die koste daaraan verbonde om die dienste te verskaf toeneem. Deur die heringenieurswese van die laboratoriumorganisasie, raak dit al hoe meer moontlik om die roetine toetse te sentraliseer en om sodeonde die koste te verlaag.
