Area of Science:

  • Clinical Chemistry
  • Hematology
  • Coagulation

Background:

  • The Piedmont region's health committee organized mandatory External Quality Assessment (EQA) programs.
  • These programs ran for two years (1991-1992) and included all public and private laboratories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the organization and outcomes of the 1991-1992 EQA programs.
  • To assess laboratory performance across various disciplines.

Main Methods:

  • EQA programs covered coagulation, hematology, and clinical chemistry parameters.
  • Key parameters included PT, APTT, Hb, RBC, WBC, platelets, MCV, glucose, urea, creatinine, and more.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in precision were observed in hematology between the first and second year.
  • Notable decreases in imprecision were seen for platelet counts, WBC, and MCV.

Conclusions:

  • The mandatory EQA programs demonstrated success in improving laboratory testing accuracy.
  • Hematology testing precision showed significant enhancement over the two-year period.
