Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Laboratory Management

The importance of laboratory quality can be defined as accuracy, reliability and timeliness of reported test results.

The laboratory results must be as accurate as possible, all aspects of the laboratory operations must be reliable, and reporting must be timely in order to be useful in a clinical or public health setting.

When making measurements, there is always some level of inaccuracy.

The challenge is to reduce the level of inaccuracy as much as possible, given the limitations of our testing systems.

An accuracy level of 99% may at first glance appear acceptable, but the resulting 1% error can become quite large in a system where many events occur, such as laboratory testing.

Laboratories produce test results that are widely used in clinical and public health settings, and health outcomes depend on the accuracy of the testing and reporting.

In order to achieve the highest level of accuracy and reliability, it is essential to perform all processes and procedures in the laboratory in the best possible way.

The laboratory is a complex system, involving many steps of activity and many people.

The complexity of the system requires that many processes and procedures be performed properly. Therefore, the quality management system model.
