Area of Science:

  • Clinical Laboratory Science
  • Quality Management Systems

Context:

  • Quality control (QC) in Japan has evolved significantly since the 1960s.
  • Numerous QC techniques have been developed and implemented in routine laboratory examinations.

Purpose:

  • To review the current state of quality control in Japan.
  • To identify existing problems and future challenges in quality assurance.

Summary:

  • Despite 30 years of QC improvements and new technique development, a concerning trend of increased abnormal results is observed.
  • This is attributed to growing insensitivity or disregard for abnormalities in practical settings.

Impact:

  • Highlights a critical turning point for quality control practices in Japan.
