Abstract
The “ISO 15189:2012 Medical laboratories – Requirements for quality and competence” Standard is globally accepted accreditation standard for medical laboratories. It is based upon the “ISO 9001 Quality management systems – Requirements” and “ISO 17025 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration” Standards. The last versions of these standards, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17025:2017, focus on process approach and risk-based thinking, and they can be adapted more easily to the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” Cycle that is the fundamental continuous quality improvement tool. If the "Total Testing Process" of a medical laboratory and sub-processes are established according to the “Business Process Management” principles, the requirements of ISO 15189 can be fulfilled. In this webinar, we will try to explain: 1) how to establish the total testing process and its sub-processes of a medical laboratory (also for a specific analyte that has inherent characteristics) according to the process approach and risk-based quality control; 2) how to correlate the process components to the requirements for the ISO 15189; and 3) which knowledge and competencies are necessary according to the requirements of the ISO 15189.
