Blood cell morphologic identification is a critical component of hematology laboratory practice, and is an important diagnostic aid. Maintaining technical competency and achieving consistent reporting practices are ongoing challenges in this area. Developed by the QMP-LS Hematology Committee the new White Blood Cell Morphology wall chart is a great addition to your laboratory.

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.
