Laboratory Audits
Laboratory audits are a good thing. Most laboratory managers fear them. Why? Is it because they are hiding something, or are they just too busy? I suspect it is a combination of both. In the daily grind and rush to get samples out and invoiced quality assurance measures tend to get lax. Don’t get me wrong. The Quality Control is still there just not properly recorded. The problem comes when after things slow down and going back to record everything is overlooked and forgotten.
