This review explores advanced quality control techniques in clinical laboratories, expanding the definition beyond traditional methods. It details strategies for error reduction and improved test result reliability using modern approaches.

Area of Science:

Clinical Laboratory Science
Medical Diagnostics

Background:

Current quality control (QC) practices in clinical laboratories are reviewed.
The traditional scope of QC, primarily focused on control materials, is examined.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the current status of laboratory quality control.
To present novel QC techniques from recent literature (last six years).
To broaden the concept of quality control beyond routine validation.

Main Methods:

Literature review of QC techniques published in the last six years.
Discussion of methods for error recognition, identification, and reduction.
Presentation of examples of QC improvements.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

Selected new techniques for quality control are presented.
Broader QC concepts are introduced, extending beyond control materials.
Methods for process error management are detailed.
Examples illustrate improvements using graphic techniques, sample manipulation, statistical analysis, and action rules.

Conclusions:

Advanced QC strategies enhance the reliability of clinical laboratory testing.
Implementing diverse QC methods, including statistical analysis and trend monitoring, is crucial.
Continuous evaluation and adaptation of QC practices are essential for diagnostic accuracy.
