R.M. Schmidt and M.A. Madofe

American Journal of Public Health, 1977, vol. 67, issue 5, 433-438

Abstract: During the past two years the authors have studied the characteristics of state and territorial public health laboratories in an attempt to develop guidelines for considering reorganization of laboratory services in Massachusetts. Only a few recent monographs have dealt with this topic and, to the authors' knowledge, the functional and organizational characteristics of these laboratories have not been reviewed. The state public health laboratory system affords and excellent example of applied laboratory science or technology organized to provide basic public health services. In this paper the programs and organization of the state public health laboratory are reviewed, and a functional basis more responsive to society's current needs is suggested.
