Technological advances have revolutionized the way we manage information in our daily workflow. The medical field has especially benefitted from these advancements, improving patient treatment, health data storage, and the management of laboratory samples and results. Laboratory Management Information Systems: Current Requirements and Future Perspectives responds to the issue of administering appropriate regulations in a medical laboratory environment in the era of telemedicine, electronic health records, and other e-health services. Exploring concepts such as the implementation of ISO 15189:2012 policies and the effects of e-health application, this book is an integral reference source for researchers, academicians, students of health care programs, health professionals, and laboratory personnel.

GAO found that: (1) a National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) study identified 13 federal agencies with 33 laboratory accreditation programs; (2) accreditation typically involved evaluation of organizational information, quality control, personnel, facilities and equipment, testing methods, recordkeeping, test reports, and proficiency testing, although programs required differing degrees of specificity; (3) the programs, which typically involved different fields of laboratory testing, generally did not overlap, although there was some overlap between the NIST National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Description of Measurement Facilities Program; (4) programs differed in their accreditation application requirements, with 70 percent requiring both paperwork and on-site reviews; (5) laboratory officials believed that some of the programs' requirements were burdensome; (6) most programs did not separate accreditation costs from other expenses, since they believed that accreditation was only a small part of the complete program; (7) only two programs charged fees for participation in their programs; (8) laboratory officials believed that accreditation at the national level provided greater credibility for their services and was of growing importance to international trade and U.S. competitiveness; and (9) one accreditation program had bilateral agreements with several countries to recognize each country's accredited laboratories.

In October of 2011, CLSI published a new guideline EP23A on “Laboratory Quality Control Based on Risk Management. In March, 2012, CMS announced its intention to incorporate key concepts from EP23A into its Interpretative Guidelines and QC policy for “Individualized Quality Control Plans. Thus begins a new era of Quality Control in the Age of Risk Management. This issue is intended to help laboratories with the transition between traditional QC practices and the new risk management approach. Laboratories face a steep learning curve to apply risk analysis for identifying and prioritizing failure-modes, developing and implementing control mechanisms to detect those failure-modes, and assessing the acceptability of the residual risks that exist after implementation of a QC Plan. One of the main benefits of the new risk analysis based QC Plans should be an integration of all the control mechanisms that are needed to monitor the total testing process, including pre-analytic, analytic, and post-analytic controls. One of the main risks of the new approach is an expectation that Statistical QC is no longer important, even though SQC still remains the most useful and flexible approach for monitoring the quality of the analytic process. The key to the future is the successful integration of all these control mechanisms to provide a cost-effective quality system that monitors all phases of the total testing process. This issue should help laboratories understand the evolution of QC practices to include risk management, but also to recognize the need to maintain traditional techniques such as Statistical QC, especially during the transition to well-designed and carefully-validated QC Plans. Risk analysis may be risky business unless laboratories proceed carefully and cautiously.
