A document-based comparative analysis of physical infrastructure planning in pathology laboratories

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate the planning approaches for physical infrastructure in pathology laboratories against international standards.
• Comparative analysis of infrastructure planning documents from various pathology laboratories.
• Contextual interpretation of international standards related to laboratory design and operation.
• Evaluation of flexibility and resilience in laboratory planning approaches.
• Highlighting the need for a flexible planning approach rather than a strict adherence to international standards.
• Emphasizing the importance of risk-informed methods for sustainability in laboratory environments.
