Standard operating procedures (SOP), defining administrative requirements (record-
keeping, data evaluation, etc.), specifies corrective actions, and high quality employee
performance.
Contract law
Voluntary agreements between two or more parties - can exist between healthcare
employer and employee, patient's and healthcare professionals, etc.

TAT
Turn around time - quality indicator of when a lab test is ordered, to when it is collected,
to when it is resulted and reported.
Quality Control (QC)
Specific techniques or procedures used to detect errors at the testing phase - in the lab,
the QC is most commonly used as a control specimen

components that are used to monitor quality in lab workflow.
Components of QSE
Organization, process management, customer focus, document and records, facilities
