Quality is an important attribute of clinical laboratory results; however, methods for defining acceptable quality may not be entirely agreed upon. In addition, confusion over quality is added when laboratory testing is moved to alternate sites. As quality parameters are designed for novel laboratory delivery systems, it will be best to use novel approaches that build on already well-defined principles of laboratory quality management.
