A go-between The Laboratory Medicine and Clinical Chemistry
The Joint Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Laboratory Medicine and the Japanese Society of Clinical Chemistry is held in Yokohama at the first time in the history of both Societies. A chance of this time, we should consider the subjects to cooperate each Society. At first, standardization of the clinical tests at clinical laboratory field including clinical chemistry should be promoted by the both Societies. At second, EBLM(evidence based laboratory medicine) making the core of EBM(evidence based medicine) is very important tool practicing science based medicine by the reason of the getting out from experience- medicine. The hard effort which find out evidence on the clinical laboratory tests from enormous literature must be carried out on many clinical test items. In the Japanese Society of Laboratory Medicine, EBLM Committee was formed at last year and the work has been started. At third, if serum and other body fluids as well as tissues which are got from patients are used outside the purpose, ethics should be asked. Ethics Committee in both Society will make a guideline for the ethics for the handling the materials from patients including genetic subjects. At forth, clinical laboratory is said to be necessary the method of quality management(QM). The accreditation process is needed under unified national control survey, if we promote QM. At fifth, medical science rapidly advances at twenty-first century. Especially, there will be advanced at the fields of gene therapy, organ substitution, prevention and complete therapy of arteriosclerosis diseases and diabetes mellitus, terminal care, infectious diseases control and so on. The effective way of activating clinical laboratory is to related to those medical fields.
