quality assurance (QA)
includes all the activities and programs put in place to guarantee the excellence of
patient care; range of activities that enable labs to achieve and maintain high levels of
accuracy and proficiency despite changes in test methods and the volume of specimens
tested
quality control (QC)
specific techniques or procedures used to detect errors in the testing phase; can also be
the use of check and controls in a procedure to make sure it's performed correctly;
control specimen
specimen with a known concentration of the analyte being tested; it's run at specific
times during the day on the analyzers to ensure that the analyzer is running within an
acceptable range
