CQPATH

A couple of years ago the Pathology lab of Daniel den Hoed-Erasmus MC started a project with the goal improving the reliability of pathology tests. At first immunohistochemistry was improved by daily monitoring of specificity, sensitivity and monthly monitoring reproducibility. This lead to increased patient care, increased conficdence within the Pathology department and a decrease of test costs by less defects and aimed troubleshooting. For the ISO15189 Accreditation in the near future we also needed QA/QC records. Our approach proved successful in reaching all these goals.
