This SOP establishes policies and procedures for the general set up and maintenance of an effective Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) and Performance Improvement (PI) Program for YOUR HOSPITAL NAME and Point of Care Testing sites. This SOP provides CQI measures, in general, applicable to the Pathology Services and specifies many requirements in detail; however, most technical procedures as well as some instrumentation systems may have additional quality control procedures, which affect the overall CQI program. In each case, the specific sectional SOP, instrument/reagent manuals and package inserts, as well as the Composite Health Care System (CHCS) SOP for the hospital’s computer system should be consulted for in depth information pertaining to quality control procedures and guidelines within that section.
