Laboratory physician's role by and large is confined to diagnostics and academics. Exposure on practical aspects is limited which is nevertheless essential. There is a significant gap in literature on how a four walled space is transformed into functioning laboratory.. We wish to narrate challenges and experiences faced during the process of setting up a diagnostic pathology laboratory attached to a teaching hospital in a rural geographic area. Bulk of data is the authors first-hand experience in setting up the laboratory from October 2019 to July 2021. For specifications and infrastructure related information, guidelines of national and international statutory governing bodies like National Medical Commission (NMC), National Board for Accreditation of Laboratories(NABL), Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI) were referred along with discussion from peers working in established laboratories. Various facets to make a laboratory fully functional were compiled and presented. A diagnostic pathology laboratory with basic subdivisions had been made functional to cater to healthcare needs of patients keeping in mind the scope for future expansion and growth. Basic fundamentals of infrastructure, manpower, consumables, vendor and data management are pertinent to even the laboratory associated medical professionals. An integrated and systematic approach with open mind for continual improvement is what it takes to face challenges and set up the diagnostics. A knowledge and hands on experience of various facets pertaining to a functional laboratory is essential to the practicing pathologists. This article provides the much-needed literature on challenges faced which can be a reference material for others undertaking a similar setting at work.

- To deliver on the promise of quality healthcare in a culturally appropriate setting close to home, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi proved to be an unprecedented and ambitious project, jointly carried out by Mubadala Investment Corporation and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. Cognizant of the scale of this task, hospital leadership engaged closely with staff and stakeholders through motivational techniques and effective communication. Excellent project planning and execution of complex tasks were required for initiation of services. Establishing the clinical laboratory served as an instructive model in fostering multidisciplinary teamwork by highlighting ways to manage operational roadblocks and opportunities in the planning, commissioning, and activation phases. Throughout the activation process, all efforts were directed to create a patient-safety culture within an intentional-learning organization.

Patoloji laboratuvarı ünite planlamasının, organizasyonun iş yapma biçimine, güvenliğine ve verimliliğine doğrudan etkisi olduğu söylemek mümkündür. Bu derlemeyle Patoloji laboratuvarındaki üniteler ve tesis içindeki konumu, fiziki gereksinim, güvenlik kuralları, verimlilik ve yalın laboratuvar perspektifiyle incelendi. Patoloji laboratuvarları ünitelerinin organizasyon ve planlaması, geçmişten gelen bilgi birikimi ve tercihlerle şekillenmektedir. Ancak standartlar, güvenlik kuralları ve mimari gerekliliklerden oluşan evrensel gerçekler, laboratuvarın büyüklüğü veya işleyişi farklı da olsa ortaktır. Hizmet sürecinde insan kaynağı kadar bina ve tesis altyapısını da etkin ve verimli kullanmak organizasyonun iş yapma biçimine ve başarısına etki etmektedir. Ünitelerin planlamasında değerlendirilecek veriler uluslararası kabulü olan kuruluşların dokümanları, ulusal standartlar ve mevzuat taranarak toplandı.
