Interpreting EQA—Understanding Why Commutability of Materials Matters [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2022 There is a risk to patients of misdiagnosis or incorrect treatment because of bias between results reported from different laboratories/methods for the same measurand. This risk can be identified and hopefully reduced by using External Quality Assurance/Proficiency Testing (EQA/PT) programs when commutable samples are used to identify these differences

The importance and value of EQA for diagnostic genetic laboratories [PDF]
Journal of Community Genetics, 2010 Quality control in a laboratory setting requires the establishment of effective training, standard operating procedures, internal quality control, validation of tests and external quality assessment (EQA). A structured quality management system subject to regular internal and external audits will minimise the error rate. EQA, therefore, gives assurance,

The challenge of producing an EQA for the COVID-19 pandemic
Practical Laboratory Medicine, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the clinical medicine landscape. The importance of pathology testing has come to the forefront. Patients or potential patients are dealing directly with laboratories as they line up in carparks or testing staff come to the front doors to obtain samples.
