THE IMPACT OF THE LIS TO THE HOSPITAL'S ANALYTICAL LABORATORY QUALITY ACCREDITATION

Acceptable laboratory practices are available and described in the form of scientific methods. When laboratory practices are widely applied and well known they turn out to be standard methods. National and international organizations examine, evaluate and adopt the methods forming Standards. Notified bodies play the role of the laboratories' inspector to examine the fidelity of standards' application verifying the existing conformity to them. The generic character of the issued Standards provides the required availability to be interpreted embodying all application's peculiarities. Notified bodies' surveyors assure the Standards adoption either by inspection and consequent certification or by inspection and subsequent verification. In either case, the kept laboratory documentation works towards the proof of the followed practices. The developed bureaucracy finds remedy by the employment of Laboratory Information System (LIS) while, at the same time, it assures that the dictated procedures will be followed without exemption. Embedding Standards requirements into the LIS, assures and provides the promptly availability of the proving documentation while it rectifies the followed practice.
