Abstract

The European Organisation for External Quality Assurance Providers in Laboratory Medicine (EQALM) was founded in 1996 and currently has members from 29 European countries and 6 countries from outside Europe. EQALM provides a forum for co-operation and exchange of knowledge on quality-related matters in laboratory medicine, especially with regard to external quality assessment (EQA) programs in Europe. In addition, EQALM represent the EQA providers in laboratory medicine at European level vis-ŕ-vis political, professional, scientific and other bodies, including patients' organisations. To this end EQALM promotes activities such as organizing meetings with scientific and practical themes for members and other interested parties, issuing scientific publications, developing EQA projects and representing laboratory medicine EQA activities within other organisations and networks. EQALM is active in scientific and educational activity in different fields such as survey frequency, haematology, haemostasis, microbiology, nomenclature, virtual microscopy, traceability, accreditation, and quality assurance of the total testing process. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the EQALM organisation.

摘要

欧洲检验医学外部质量保证提供者组织（EQALM）成立于1996年，目前拥有来自29个欧洲国家以及6个欧洲以外国家的成员。EQALM为检验医学领域与质量相关事务的合作及知识交流提供了一个平台，特别是在欧洲的外部质量评估（EQA）项目方面。此外，EQALM在欧洲层面代表检验医学领域的EQA提供者，与包括患者组织在内的政治、专业、科学及其他机构打交道。为此，EQALM推动开展各类活动，如为成员及其他相关方组织具有科学和实践主题的会议、发行科学出版物、开展EQA项目，以及在其他组织和网络中代表检验医学EQA活动。EQALM活跃于不同领域的科学和教育活动，如调查频率、血液学、止血、微生物学、命名法、虚拟显微镜、可追溯性、认可及整个检测过程的质量保证等。本文旨在对EQALM组织进行概述。
