Quality assurance (QA) in the clinical laboratory is essential because laboratory results directly influence medical decisions, patient diagnoses, and treatment plans. Errors in testing can lead to misdiagnosis, inappropriate therapies, delays in care, or unnecessary costs. Unfortunately, there is significant variation in education and practice of quality control (QC) among laboratory professionals, as evidenced by a 2018 survey conducted by Rosenbaum MW et al and published in Am J Clin Path titled “Quality Control Practices for Chemistry and Immunochemistry in a Cohort of 21 Large Academic Medical Centers”. Therefore, the goal of this course is to provide a basic understanding of best QA practices, from setting up QC and other QA metrics, to how to monitor them, and what to do when a QA check fails. Participants in this course will learn about the numerous ways in which quality can be monitored through didactics, case-based activities, and group discussions.
