This article describes the process of building and implementing a quality management system in the Department of Laboratory Medicine at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. This was done in part to fulfill the requirements of the Ontario Laboratory Accreditation program. During the process, we revised and created new procedure manuals and documents through the use of focus groups and inter-departmental committees. The entire project took approximately two-and-a-half years to complete and required teamwork, personal commitment, and professional sacrifices by key personnel.

CLMA volunteered to conduct an online pilot survey of its membership to help the Institute for Quality in Laboratory Medicine (IQLM) determine quality management activities in laboratories. Among the hospital-based members who were surveyed, approximately 25 percent responded. The data they volunteered provide a snapshot of the current state of laboratory quality management. The pilot survey is part of a larger IQLM plan to develop networks of laboratories to monitor and evaluate laboratory practices and services to enhance laboratory medicine. This pilot survey will be used by IQLM as a model to establish quality and patient safety networks, applicable to laboratories of all sizes and types. Performance comparisons and best practices may then be shared to reduce laboratory errors and improve patient safety.

Medical laboratory science professionals are represented by several national certifying agencies, yet few promote a common professional identity. People outside the profession seldom recognize that medical laboratory scientists (MLSs) perform a myriad of complex laboratory tests. Among medical laboratory scientists, there exists a perceived lack of power, prestige, and autonomy. By identifying and supporting common issues and promoting the profession, medical laboratory scientists can gain professional visibility, voice, clout, and unification.
