The hemostasis laboratory has a vital role in the diagnosis andmanagement of patients with familial and acquired hemorrhagic andthrombotic disorders. Rapid changes in the number and complexity oftests in this discipline have presented challenges forlaboratories, as they develop quality programs for the oversight ofthis testing.
Quality in Laboratory Hemostasis and Thrombosis has beencompletely revised and updated to reflect the changing process ofmanaging quality. The second edition provides information on allaspects of testing, from pre-analytic to analytic and resultreporting, in addition to external quality assurance. Chaptersthroughout the book include the development of global guidelinesfor methods, as well as the preparation of international standardplasmas and reagents.
Designed to capture the elements of quality at all levels of thepractice of laboratory hemostasis and thrombosis, this book willguide the reader through the development of a quality program tosupport all activities in the hemostasis laboratory, both simpleand complex.
