Abstract

Dear Editor,
Our aim is highlighting patient consumerism and its implications for clinical laboratories. The increasing awareness among patients about their health and the widespread availability of medical information have led to a shift in their expectations from healthcare providers, including laboratory services. Patient consumerism in laboratory medicine is an area that warrants further discussion and research. We would appreciate the opportunity to contribute to this dialogue through your esteemed journal.

Abstract

Değerli Editör,
Bu mektupta amacımız hasta tüketimine ve bunun klinik laboratuvarlardaki etkisine dikkat çekmektir. Hastalarda sağlıklarına yönelik artan bilinç ve medikal bilgiye ulaşımın yaygınlaşması, hastaların sağlık hizmetinden beklentilerinde bir değişime yol açmıştır. Buna laboratuvar hizmetleri de dahildir. Tıbbi laboratuvarda hasta tüketiciliği daha fazla tartışma ve araştırmayı gerektiren bir alandır. Saygın derginiz aracılığıyla bu diyaloğa katkıda bulunma fırsatından memnun oluruz.
