The primary goal of any andrology laboratory should be the performance of accurate, reproducible, high-quality, and clinically relevant laboratory testing. An underlining objective of such a goal is to better serve the ordering physician, and the patient, by continually improving laboratory performance. Quality control (QC) is the procedure that determines accurate and reproducible testing. Proficiency testing (PT) is the process allowing physicians to compare results from one laboratory to another. Quality assurance (QA) is the mechanism ensuring high-quality, clinically relevant testing. Together, QC, QA, and PT serve as the foundation responsible for a program that continually improves the overall quality of the testing, allowing the physician ordering the test to be more effective in treating the patient. Several examples are presented to assist the implementation of effective QC and QA programs aimed at continually improving performance in the andrology laboratory.
任何男科实验室的首要目标都应该是进行准确、可重复、高质量且与临床相关的实验室检测。这一目标的一个潜在目的是通过不断提高实验室性能，更好地服务于开单医生和患者。质量控制（QC）是确定准确且可重复检测的程序。能力验证（PT）是让医生能够比较不同实验室结果的过程。质量保证（QA）是确保高质量、与临床相关检测的机制。QC、QA和PT共同构成了一个不断提高检测整体质量的项目的基础，使开单医生在治疗患者时更有效。文中给出了几个例子，以协助实施有效的QC和QA项目，旨在不断提高男科实验室的性能。
