LABORATORY PERFORMANCE
AND
QUALITY ASSURANCE
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
Laboratory performance and quality Assurance programs ensure laboratory staff, clinicians and patients that laboratory test results are reliable, reproducible and relevant. A Quality Assurance program that includes Internal Quality Control, External Quality Assessment and Quality Management is an effective tool to improve trust in laboratory test results.
Therefore, all laboratory personnel must be familiar with terms and procedures of the Laboratory performance and quality Assurance Program.
