The External Quality Assessment Scheme (EQAS): Experiences of a medium sized accredited laboratory
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2015We put forth our experiences of EQAS, analyzed the result discrepancies, reviewed the corrective actions and also put forth strategies for risk identification and prevention of potential errors in a medical laboratory.For hematology, EQAS samples - blood, peripheral and reticulocyte smears - were received quarterly every year.

The Role of External Quality Assessment (EQA) in Laboratory Services
The International Journal of Conformity AssessmentExternal quality assessment (EQA) is an important tool in laboratory services, ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of diagnostic test results. In an EQA program, an external body distributes unknown samples to participating laboratories, which analyze them and report their results for comparison with those of peer institutions.

Urinary sediment components are mainly unstable, especially in their original forms. This makes the use of such material in routine external quality assessment surveys (EQAS) almost impossible. The development of an alternative EQAS for urinary sediment using photomicrographs (visual-sample EQAS) is described here, together with results, improvements ...
