Quality Control Programme in Clinical Chemistry

The programme has been running regularly since 1978. A committee headed by Dr. A. S. Kanagasabapathy from Christian Medical College, Vellore with the help and cooperation of his College started this programme. This is a voluntary participation scheme and all laboratories are encouraged to participate at a nominal charge. The organizers send one vial of Q.C. sample by post every month to all participants who are coded to disguise their identity. The participating laboratories analyze the parameters indicated in the accompanying report from and report back their result to Vellore within a stipulated time. All result sent by laboratories are statistically analyzed and the laboratories are given their score, the designated values along with the acceptable range of values of each analyte. In this programme only 13 common analytes are included. Now the plan is to introduce lyophilized Q.C. material so that more number of tests can be included in the scheme. Presently, Dr. R. Selvakumar of the Dept. of Clinical Biochemistry C.M.C. Hospital , Vellore is in-charge of this programme .
