Abstract
A supplement to a bibliography (Scand J Clin Lab Invest 1987;47 suppl. 187:1-96) dealing with quality assurance in the clinical laboratory is presented. The increasing role of national and international standardizing bodies is stressed as well as implementation of rules of "good laboratory practice". Objectively established quality goals for all services is highly needed in order to provide a rationale for the efforts dedicated to quality improvements. Quality goals for many clinical chemistry and haematology investigations are now available.
