Quality in laboratory medicine is defined as "an unfinished journey", as the more essential the laboratory information provided, the more assured its quality should be. In the past decades, the Journal has provided a valuable forum for garnering new insights into the analytical and extra-analytical phases of the testing cycle, and for debating crucial aspects of quality in clinical laboratories. The impressive number of papers published in the is testimony to the efforts made by laboratory professionals, national and international scientific societies and federations in the quest to continuously improve upon the pre-, intra- and post-analytical steps of the testing cycle, thus enhancing the quality of laboratory information. The paper appearing in this special issue summarizes the most important and interesting contributions published in the , thus updating our knowledge on quality in laboratory medicine and offering further stimuli to identify the most valuable measures of quality in clinical laboratories.
检验医学中的质量被定义为“一段没有终点的旅程”，因为所提供的实验室信息越重要，其质量就应越有保障。在过去几十年里，该期刊为获取有关检测周期分析阶段和分析外阶段的新见解，以及为辩论临床实验室质量的关键方面，提供了一个宝贵的论坛。发表在该期刊上的大量论文证明了实验室专业人员、国家和国际科学学会及联合会为不断改进检测周期的分析前、分析中和分析后步骤所做的努力，从而提高了实验室信息的质量。本期特刊发表的论文总结了该期刊上发表的最重要和最有趣的贡献，从而更新了我们对检验医学质量的认识，并进一步激励我们去确定临床实验室中最有价值的质量衡量标准。
