Building a quality system in medical laboratories

Identifying the gaps in the current practices of quality systems in medical laboratories can be crucial for designing an effective training program. Here are some potential areas of focus: 

Understanding of Quality Systems: Many laboratory technicians and managers may lack a comprehensive understanding of what constitutes a quality system and its importance in ensuring accurate and reliable laboratory results. Regulatory Compliance: Laboratories may struggle with interpreting and implementing regulatory requirements such as CLIA and ISO 15189. 

There could be gaps in knowledge regarding the specific regulations relevant to their practice and how to ensure compliance. 

By addressing these gaps through targeted training and education, participants can enhance their knowledge and skills in building and maintaining quality systems in medical laboratories, ultimately leading to improved patient care outcomes
