Evaluation of the implementation of the rational use of laboratory tests in the clinical chemistry laboratory

Abstract

The ‘Rational Laboratory Use Project’ (RLUP) was launched in 2018 by the Department of Examination and Diagnosis Services under the General Directorate of Health Services of the Republic of Turkey’s Ministry of Health. In this study, we aimed to determine the rate of implementation of RLUP in medical biochemistry laboratories, and to contribute to new regulations by collecting the information and opinions of the laboratory experts participating the survey.
