Why EQA, not only IQC?
- Internal Quality Control (IQC) assesses, in real time, whether the performance of a lab is similar to his previous performance. It, thus, controls reproducibility and facilitates continuity of patient care over time.
- EQA, on the other hand, looks, retrospectively, at differences between this lab and other labs testing the same analyte. It, thus, controls accuracy and ensures continuity of testing over geography.
- EQA must not be seen as an alternative or a competitor to IQC: both are essential tools for a clinical laboratory, to ensure continuity of patient care both within and between institutions.
