This section introduces the foundational aspects of a laboratory quality program, focusing on managing nonconforming events, conducting proficiency testing, and implementing robust quality control measures. The course objective is to provide laboratory professionals with the essential knowledge to maintain high-quality standards and ensure reliable laboratory operations.
In this section, participants will delve into laboratory data validation, proctoring, and purchasing processes. It covers point-of-care testing, laboratory key performance indicators (KPIs), supply chain management, storage, and blood bank policies and procedures. The course objective is to develop participants' skills in validating data, managing laboratory supplies effectively, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of laboratory results.
Focusing on laboratory safety and staff competency, this section includes material safety data sheets (MSDS), training and safety awareness, and staff competency and training programs. The course objective is to ensure laboratory professionals are well-trained, aware of safety protocols, and competent in their roles, thereby fostering a safe and efficient laboratory environment.
This course aims to enhance laboratory quality and safety by equipping professionals with essential knowledge and skills across three key areas: Introduction to Laboratory Quality Program; Laboratory Data Validation, Proctoring, and Purchasing; and Laboratory Safety Program and Staff Competency. Participants will learn to manage quality control, validate laboratory data, ensure safety, and train staff effectively. The ultimate goal is to maintain high standards, ensure reliable operations, and foster a safe laboratory environment.
