Quality is defined as an laboratory's ability to provide accurate, reliable, timely, cost-effective test results so that clinicians can determine the appropriate treatment for patients. In order to achieve this objective, the laboratory needs to establish detailed processes and procedures. A Quality Management System is a set of processes organized to achieve customer satisfaction and meet specific requirements.

The course will open on October 11. In the meantime, we are active on twitter #MOOCQualité @MerieuxFdn and on LinkedIn # InitiativeQualité. Please join us!
Are you a professional?
Any professions involved in a medical biology laboratory can benefit from an overview of quality management. Quality is a real operational and strategic asset through the sharing of skills and common practice. The implementation of a quality management system is indeed a team approach, so all the team members should share the same vision. The Quality Manager and his Quality Team have a critical role in a medical biology laboratory. This MOOC has been developed to give them the tools to manage the quality management system in their own laboratory.
