How does the Wyoming State Veterinary Laboratory assure the quality of its results?
The concept and practice of “Quality” in modern veterinary laboratories is essential for producing results in a reliable and efficient manner. The quality of results from the laboratory depends on the quality control of the testing laboratory. The outcome is significantly influenced by many pre analytical and post analytical factors. A good system addresses these concerns, with objectives such as improvement in diagnostic quality, production of reliable and reproducible results, establishment of inter-laboratory testing comparability, promotion of credibility of the laboratory among patients, doctors, other institutions, collaborators, accrediting/regulatory bodies, motivation of staff for further improvement and preclusion of poor results which could cause legal complications.
