The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was delegated authority to conduct the studies mandated in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA). Since that time, the CDC has been planning and implementing a research program, Evaluation of Quality of Laboratory Practices and Standards (EQLPS), aimed at demonstrating a clear linkage between patient outcome and laboratory practices and standards such as proficiency testing, quality assurance, and personnel standards. The goal of EQLPS is to improve the quality of laboratory medicine by providing a scientific and technical basis for laboratory practices and standards. In October 1995, the CDC will sponsor an Institute entitled "Frontiers in Laboratory Practice Research," during which strategies for conducting laboratory practice research will be discussed. The Institute should help identify research strategies that will eventually provide the information necessary to develop appropriate practice guidelines for laboratory medicine.
疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）被授权开展1988年《临床实验室改进修正案》（CLIA）所要求的研究。自那时起，CDC一直在规划和实施一项研究项目，即实验室实践与标准质量评估（EQLPS），旨在证明患者结果与实验室实践及标准（如能力验证、质量保证和人员标准）之间存在明确的联系。EQLPS的目标是通过为实验室实践和标准提供科学技术依据来提高检验医学质量。1995年10月，CDC将主办一个名为“实验室实践研究前沿”的研讨会，期间将讨论开展实验室实践研究的策略。该研讨会应有助于确定最终能提供制定适当检验医学实践指南所需信息的研究策略。
