ISO15189: A Practical Guide - DIGITAL PDF

A fourth, revised version of the ISO 15189 standard was released in December 2022. This version (ISO 15189:2022) is less prescriptive than previous adaptations and is focused on the prevention of harm to patients, with an emphasis on understanding and mitigating risk.

This lack of prescription has allowed for a greater focus on continuous improvement within a medical laboratory whilst challenging users to utilise a different mind set when looking to meet the standard. This book is a practical guide to help laboratories in their journey to comply with ISO 15189:2022.

The author has a long history with writing international standards, including being part of the team of conveners drafting the 2022 version. The editing team of this book were also involved in the revised standard, ensuring that this guide will prove a valuable resource in assisting laboratories with their aims of continuous improvement and patient care.
