A large amount of innovations, especially in technology, have vastly enhanced the productivity of medical laboratories in recent years; yet at the same time, commoditization is increasingly affecting the services they provide. To prepare for the future, medical laboratories need to overcome some challenges, investing more in automation and reducing diagnostic errors, hiring and developing human talent, and strengthening business relationships with doctors to enhance process efficiency and effectiveness and to reduce deviations and unnecessary costs.
ISO 15189 is the most widely-recognized international quality standard for medical laboratories. Its goal is to help organizations to develop their quality management systems and to assess their own technical competences, helping laboratories to improve business processes, products and services. This standard is based on the Continuous Improvement Model, which is also used for other standards, such as ISO 9001 or ISO/IEC 17025, making it easier for organizations to meet international patient care requirements and to obtain an accreditation seal.
