Abstract

An emerging trend in modern medical laboratories is automation, and it is having a positive impact on the quality of service to patients and on the safety of medical laboratory staff. The use of automation in medical laboratories enable many tests by analytical instruments with minimal use of an analyst. These automated instruments result in increasing the capabilities of a laboratory to process more workload with minimum involvement of manpower. Total Laboratory Automation (TLA) has many advantages including workload reduction, less time spent per sample, increased number of tests done in less time, use of a smaller sample amount, decreased risks for human errors, and higher reproducibility and accuracy. With the future practice of medical technologists in a technologically advanced future in peril. What edge do medical technologists have over Artificial Intelligence and Robotics that would still make them essential in medical laboratories in a future that is technologically advanced?

在技术先进的未来，医学实验室还需要医学技术人员吗?

现代医学实验室的一个新兴趋势是自动化，它对病人的服务质量和医学实验室工作人员的安全产生了积极的影响。医学实验室自动化的使用使分析仪器能够在最少使用分析员的情况下进行许多测试。这些自动化仪器提高了实验室的能力，以最少的人力参与处理更多的工作量。全实验室自动化(TLA)具有许多优点，包括减少工作量、减少每个样品花费的时间、在更短的时间内完成更多的测试、使用更少的样本量、降低人为错误的风险以及更高的可重复性和准确性。随着未来医疗技术专家在技术先进的未来的实践处于危险之中。在技术先进的未来，医疗技术人员对人工智能和机器人技术有什么优势，使它们在医学实验室中仍然必不可少?
