METHOD FOR EVALUATING QUALITY OF CLINICAL LABORATORY RESEARCH Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine, possible use for performing external quality check of clinical laboratory research results, primarily on regional level.

SUBSTANCE: method for evaluating quality of clinical laboratory research includes preparing a sample using patient bio-materials, dividing the sample into a number of separate parts corresponding to number of laboratories - participants of evaluation, sending of samples of divided samples to each one of participating laboratories, measurement in each laboratory of characteristics of provided divided sample and, on basis of results of measurements, comparison of result quality evaluation, while one of the laboratories is chosen to be curator laboratory, all divided samples are preserved at the temperature of -20°C to -25°C for performing measurements of each bio-material parameter, two standard patient samples are used, first one of which has high concentration of analyte, and second one - a lower concentration, in each one of participating laboratories, each one of first and second sample is measured from 6 to 10 times, on basis of received data, curator laboratory produces regression graphs and research data are compared using the graphs, and quality of laboratory research is evaluated using resulting parameters of the graphs.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of clinical laboratory research quality evaluation due to increased trustworthiness of resulting laboratory research data, decreased time and costs of their realization.
