Development and Implementation of an Internal Quality Control and External Quality Assessment Information System for a Regional Medical Laboratory Center: Pilot Design and Implementation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Regional Medical Laboratory Center (RMLC) integrates laboratory departments from hospitals with different levels to optimize resource allocation, enhance testing efficiency, and promote the sharing of professional expertise. Despite these benefits, ensuring consistent quality control (QC) across the RMLC presents a significant challenge due to diverse equipment, procedures, and staff expertise levels. To address these challenges, this study provided an information tool called iLab, developed by Shenzhen Huikang Information Technology Co, Ltd, for managing internal quality control (IQC) and external quality assessment (EQA).

Objective

This study aimed to develop and implement an integrated informatics platform managing IQC and EQA across RMLC.
