This course covers the origins of control processes and the introduction of statistical control measures that support effective quality assurance mechanisms. It is designed to increase awareness of the value of quality control and statistical control processes through a better understanding of their application.
This module has been revised to reflect the requirements of ISO 15189:2022 and now includes more considerations for qualitative quality assurance provided by our Technical Focus Person for Histopathology.
To enhance your learning experience, we have curated links to relevant further reading, example control charts you can explore at your own pace, and a downloadable notebook for you to capture your reflections.
(NOTE: This module is the re-launch of a previous version that was based on ISO 15189:2012)
