Abstract

The design and use of quality control materials and rationale for implementation of a quality monitoring program are discussed. A simplified approach to a quality monitoring program suitable for in-clinic laboratories is presented. Use of blood films and the mean cell hemoglobin concentration value as adjuncts to quality monitoring in hematology is described. Over time, it is hoped that the profession more widely embraces, if not demands, implementation of quality monitoring for in-clinic laboratory diagnostics.
