THE RELIABILITY CRITERION IN MICROBIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS
The control of quality assumes a set of procedures
elaborated and applied by the staff of the Laboratory of
medical analyses for the continuous evaluation of the
activity and for granting the quality of the results obtained,
namely a correct reflection of patients’ health condition.
Management of quality should consider the general and
specific standards of quality and competence established
by SR EN ISO 15189:2013 for the Laboratories of medical
analyses. The risk of error exists in any medical action, the
microbiological diagnosis included. Organization of the
internal control of quality is the responsibility of the chief
of the Laboratory of medical analyses, while its legal
representative has the obligation to assure the resources
necessary in this respect. The internal control of quality is
performed on a regular basis and whenever necessary. The
results of the the internal control are analyzed by the
specialist in charge with it, who decides the acceptance or
rejection of the obtained results. The laboratory of medical
analyses should periodically participate to programs of
external evaluation of quality. The (internal and external)
control of quality contributes to reducing the number of
erroneous microbiological result
