Role of Quality Assurance in Pathological Testing

In the field of pathology testing, even a slightest error can have a profound effect on a patient’s diagnosis and treatment. Ensuring the reliability of diagnostic results is paramount. And this is where quality assurance, especially through NABL Accreditation and ISO 9001-2015 Certification are a must. Eastern Diagnostics, a leading diagnostic testing laboratory, places quality assurance at the core of its operations to guarantee trustworthy results for patients and its team of medical experts.

NABL Accreditation Ensures Quality Standard
The National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) is a regulatory board in India, responsible for accrediting laboratories that demonstrate competence in various testing fields. Eastern Diagnostics’ achievement of NABL accreditation is a testament to its commitment to uphold stringent quality standards. NABL evaluates a laboratory’s competence in areas such as quality management, personnel, equipment and accuracy of results. It ensures that the laboratory uses state-of-the-art technology, follows internationally-recognized testing protocols and maintains strict quality control procedures. For Eastern Diagnostics, it not just a badge of honour but a guarantee to patients and team of healthcare professionals for carrying out quality patient care.

ISO 9001:2015 Certification Assures Operational Excellence
The ISO certification is another feather in Eastern Diagnostics’ cap and its commitment to quality. This international standard focuses on the implementation of a robust Quality Management System (QMS) within an organization, emphasizing customer satisfaction and continual improvement. For a pathology testing laboratory, the certification underscores the importance of a well-structured, efficient and quality-driven operation. It ensures that Eastern Diagnostics’ processes are not only audited for their effectiveness but also designed to meet and even surpass customer expectations. An assurance particularly significant in the healthcare industry, where precision and reliability are paramount.
