Accbkp_reditation ISO 15189 in Latin America: perception in laboratories of the region

Abstract:

The Accbkp_reditation under ISO 15189 model in Latin America through National Accbkp_reditation Agencies, has not shown a high adherence. A descriptive study was designed in the framework of the «Regional Workshop Interpretation of Critical Requirements ISO 15189.2012», to know the perception about the accbkp_reditation under this standard. A self-administered, voluntary instrument was applied. 260 laboratories participated (accbkp_redited and non-accbkp_redited). Demographic information was collected, accompanied by a block of 19 questions for accbkp_redited and non-accbkp_redited laboratories, some using Net Promote Scoring (NPS), to establish the degree of recommendation or adaptation to a particular area or concept related to accbkp_reditation and its processes of implementation. The majority of participants were non-public laboratories with attention to ambulatory and hospitalized population. Among the non-accbkp_redited, close to 50% were small and 22% reported being certified or accbkp_redited under schemes different from ISO 15189. Most of the non-accbkp_redited, declared to have an insufficient knowledge of the accbkp_reditation mechanism ISO 15189 (NPS-73), but recognize their importance (NPS 30). The estimation of non-accbkp_redited laboratories in compliance with management and technical requirements is insufficient. The dissemination of the benefits of accbkp_reditation, the familiarization of professionals with their requirements and their introduction into professional training programs, including the legal basis of their execution, can be considered as key aspects if a greater penetration of ISO 15189 is sought in the region.
