PURPOSE:
Through process mapping, the activity steps and their linkages will be discussed so that participants will better understand the ISO 15189 sub-clause and how to achieve the intended quality output and minimizes the risks of unintended (e.g. defective, nonconforming) outputs. Gaining clarity, the participants will be better able to effectively lead the quality planning at their site.

KEY MESSAGES:
-
By taking a process-based approach, ISO 15189 standard can be transformed into a practical tool.
-
A process map can bring clarity and better understanding.
-
Connections to other sub-clauses in the standard can easily be seen.
SELF ASSESSMENT:
Can you:
- Map the process?
- Describe what happens at each step?
- Identify where other sub-clauses interconnect?
