Abstract
This chapter explores a few hallmarks of successful REI clinics and laboratories. While all clinics should fulfill minimal guidelines set for in government oversight and regulations, the successful laboratory will go beyond such guidelines to actively improve the quality of service provided to patients. Pursuit of a high level of success necessitates ongoing employee education, monitoring and evaluation of patient outcomes, and a focus on the objectives set for the institution.
