TELLEZ PERAZA, Zenia; TORRES ROMO, Ubaldo; ROSQUETE LOPEZ, Grisel  and  FERNANDEZ FRANCH, Neyda. Application of standardized procedures of work for the quality control in clinical chemistry. AMC [online]. 2005, vol.9, n.2, pp.12-23. ISSN 1025-0255.

Due to the need of controlling quality for the methods of clinical chemistry, adjusted to the conditions of the clinical lab department at Amalia Simoni Hospital, the quality committee congregated to determine which factors influenced on this situation, minimal material, indispensable conditions were created, the personnel was sufficient and trained, procedures of the four control techniques selected were elaborated, control reproducibility, calibration, external and internal interlaboratory controls were applied. After six months of their establishment, an analysis of how each of them functions and the information they offered about the performance of evaluated methods of essay was carried out. With the results it was concluded that the utilization of these procedures allows the detection of disagreements and eventhough not all contributed to the identification of causes, as in the case of interlaboratory controls; the integration of all information given by them constitutes a useful tool for the analysis of causes: key part in the procedure of preventive or corrective action.

Keywords : CLINICAL CHEMESTRY; QUALITY CONTROL; LABORATORY TECNIQYES AND PROCEDURES [standars].
