*TS: Sure Fire Methods: Complying with Standard QSA.02.11.01 for Laboratories (PDF/QV) [REF: Lab, SC] The Source, March 2016, Vol 14, #1, Pg 2 JCs1603_B3 QSA.02.01.11 requires a laboratory’s quality control program to include surveillance of patient results and related records.

I would recommend that you share this very well written article with any level of laboratory employee.
