Journal articles
In this 2023 article published in
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, Naphade
et al. provide a brief introductory-level review of the importance of quality control (QC) to the clinical laboratory. After a brief introduction on clinical lab testing, the authors analyze the wide variety of sources for laboratory errors, covering the pre-analytical, analytical. and post-analytical phases. They then introduce the concept of quality control, followed by explaining how QC is implemented in the laboratory, including through the use of QC materials, statistical control charts, and shifts and trends. They conclude this review by stating that "reliable and confident laboratory testing avoids misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and unnecessary costing of repeat testing." They add that given these benefits, "the individual laboratory should assess and analyze their own QC process to find out the possible root cause of any digressive test results which are not correlating with patients' clinical presentation or expected response to treatment."
