Quality in Medical Laboratories

  • Quality assurance in labs relies on various tools including:
    • Procedure manuals
    • Maintenance schedules
    • Calibrations
    • Training programs
    • Quality control (QC) systems
  • Focus on developing a statistical process control system to ensure reliability of patient test results.

Statistical Process Control

  • Utilizes statistical techniques to verify the reliability of patient results.
  • Relies on ongoing testing of quality control materials to calculate statistics.
  • Aims for consistent and reliable QC results across laboratory networks and instruments.

Quality Control Materials

  • Understanding independent quality control materials is crucial.
  • Evaluating QC vendors is essential for enhanced laboratory performance.
  • Best practices should be followed for improved efficiency and confidence in test results.

Learning Opportunities

  • A workbook is available to learn about selecting quality control materials for laboratory testing.
  • Key concepts include concentrations and open-vial stability.
  • Continuing Education (CE) credits can be earned by passing a short exam.
