An external quality assurance system in the medical diagnostic laboratory, which is an essential part of the modern total quality management (TQM) concept in the public health system, was established in Austria already 25 years ago. The development and the scope of this quality assessment system by the "Austrian Society for Quality Assurance and Standardization of Analyses in the Clinical Laboratory" (OQUASTA) are presented. The decreasing coefficients of variation of several parameters of the external quality assessment exercises demonstrate an increasing analytical precision and might be interpreted as an effect of this quality assurance system.
医学诊断实验室的外部质量保证体系是公共卫生系统现代全面质量管理（TQM）理念的重要组成部分，奥地利早在25年前就已建立。本文介绍了由“奥地利临床实验室分析质量保证与标准化协会”（OQUASTA）建立的该质量评估体系的发展历程和范围。外部质量评估活动中几个参数的变异系数不断降低，表明分析精度在提高，这可能被视为该质量保证体系的成效。
