A clinical laboratory is a dynamic organization that suffers when constrained to a static environment. Its approach to information management must be predicated on an ability to deal comfortably with change whenever necessary. It is important to view an information system as a dynamic process rather than a static object to be used for some time and then discarded for a newer model.
