عنوان انگلیسی EQAS as a tool for evaluating laboratory performance in tertiary care hospital.
چکیده انگلیسی مقاله Background and Objectives: Quality control (QC) is a crucial tool in the clinical laboratory for error identification and correction. While IQC ensures daily precision and accuracy, EQAS ensures long-term accuracy by providing external verification. The objective of this study was to evaluate our laboratory’s performance in the EQAS program and assess the impact of corrective actions on EQAS performance improvement.
Methods: The retrospective observational study was undertaken in the tertiary care hospital. The Biochemistry department of the laboratory participated in the monthly clinical chemistry EQA program administered by CMC Vellore EQAS. Nineteen parameters were assessed using structured approach to analyze deviating EQAS results. Monthly performance was analyzed in terms of the SDI (Standard Deviation Index) and VIS (variance index score) for the period of October 2019 to September 2021.
Results: Among the nineteen parameters assessed in EQAS program, most showed ‘excellent’ performance between October 2019 and September 2021 based on mean SDI. Some improvement was observed in the SDI values between the two cycles after implementing a structured approach in root cause analysis and indicates an enhanced level of performance in the EQAS program. The VIS analysis revealed that 89.47% of parameters in the October 2019 to September 2020 period and 94.73% in the October 2020 to September 2021 achieved scores classified as ‘very good’ performance.
Conclusion: Adopting a structured approach to analyze deviating EQAS results enables the evaluation of laboratory performance and offers opportunities for improvement. Consequently, EQAS plays a significant role as a cornerstone in the accreditation process.
