Quality assurance programs have been imposed on human health
laboratories in the United States through regulation, but
veterinary laboratories as yet remain unregulated. Heightened
awareness of the importance of quality assurance has prompted many
veterinary laboratories to adopt quality assurance measures. The
Quality "Assurance Handbook for Veterinary Laboratories," written
by experts with substantial practical experience, is a thorough and
useful guide for laboratories that wish to implement new programs
and procedures or to improve their current programs.
Designed for practicing veterinarians and for professionals in
larger commercial or institutional laboratories, this handbook
explains how quality assurance can minimize errors and provide
confidence in results from in-house tests and tests done by
referral laboratories. Beginning with the main components of a
quality assurance program, this concise text describes the
development of a laboratory quality assurance manual, goal setting,
internal and external monitoring procedures, operations, evaluation
of new procedures, and considerations for point-of-care testing and
office laboratories. Among the many practical suggestions are tips
related to administrative and financial issues, staff training,
sample identification, and information management. Helpful figures
and tables are presented, along with sample forms and a list of
resources for training and certification and for external quality
assurance programs.
The "Quality Assurance Handbook for Veterinary Laboratories" is
a valuable guide for all veterinary laboratories.
