 Accreditation of medical laboratories across Canada will help to ensure that all laboratories meet the highest standards for quality and competence. Implementing ISO 15189 helps medical laboratories improve the reliability and accuracy of test results.
In 2010, the Provincial Government of Newfoundland and Labrador signed a memorandum of understanding with our Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare for accreditation services. In May 2010, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador mandated that all medical laboratories across the province be accredited by OLA to the ISO 15189 standard for medical laboratories. Since that time, the 38 medical laboratories of Newfoundland and Labrador worked hard to achieve accreditation.

Identifying red blood cell morphological abnormalities just got easier for hematology lab technologists thanks to a new Red Blood Cell Morphology Kit produced by the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare (IQMH). The kit, which includes a wall chart, a reference guide and a webcast highlights 40 clinically significant abnormalities.
The kit was produced by the Hematology Committee of IQMH’s partner QMP–LS.
“Red cell morphologic identification is a critical component of hematology laboratory practice and is an important diagnostic aid. This kit provides lab technologists with the tools they need to achieve technical proficiency and consistent reporting practices — which is critical to patient safety,” said Dr. Gregory Flynn, the Chief Executive Officer of IQMH.

In celebration of National Medical Laboratory Week, IQMH, along with its partners the Quality Management Program—Laboratory Services (QMP–LS) and Ontario Laboratory Accreditation (OLA) have created a video showcasing the work medical laboratory professionals do.
The video highlights the work of Gaman Modi, an Ontario laboratory professional who travelled to Tanzania to help the lab at the Mnazi Mmoja Hospital prepare for ISO 15189 accreditation. Using knowledge he gained as a member of the initial OLA Advisory Panel and an Ontario laboratory quality management professional, Gaman’s goal was to transfer the knowledge he gained locally and let the staff at the hospital take the lead in the project.
