Report(s):
[22 Nov 2023] Last week DATOS provided its online interactive course ‘Transitioning to ISO 15189:2022’ to 15 laboratory professionals from 5 laboratories in Bangladesh, Laos PDR, and Cambodia, all members of the international research network GABRIEL, animated by Fondation Mérieux.
We discussed the structure and contents of the new version of ISO 15189, and the key differences with the previous version, ISO 15189:2012. We also focused on conducting risk assessments and identifying, implementing, and evaluating effectiveness of risk control measures to adequately manage risks as integral part of laboratory quality management.
We thank all the participants for their engagement and active participation and wish them all the best with implementation of the new ISO 15189:2022 standard! And we thank the Mérieux Foundation for supporting this activity through its Quality Initiative program.
