    The AA. analize the most important items and they make some considerations to put in evidence which should be the general lines for a right application of an automation of an Hospital testing laboratory. After having studied carefully the essential items to face the automation, the AA. analize the advantage and the disadvantage of the matter. They sustain the essentiality to give to an outline of a rapid and exact entry on the most complete way to give to doctors the possibility to improve the clinical-diagnostics valutation and reduce the periods in bed. Having considered the different systems of automation, the AA. examine the problems relative to the cost of equipment, to the rooms, to the personnel, studying in particular the costs relative to the repeated tests, to the specific tests and to the urgencies. They conclude stating again that a good equipment can resolve the actual difficulties existing in the labs and that can improve the functionality of the Hospitals.
