Abstract

This chapter deals with issues of quality management and quality assurance in medical laboratories. Basic terms and their role in quality assurance in laboratory examinations are analyzed and discussed. Clarifications on certification and accreditation are given with a comprehensive analysis of the procedures they refer to and their implementation for particular tasks. The implementation of the international standard ISO 15189 is presented with reference to some recent developments. The chapter has been prepared to help medical laboratories in an introductory understanding of quality assurance issues and encourage them to proceed with the implementation of the standard ISO 15189 and not as a detailed guide. Some practical considerations rising from the experience of a small country such as Cyprus are also discussed.
