- A problem or error in any of the three phases can invalidate the results of the entire testing process.
- For a QA program to be effective, the necessary policies and procedures must be developed and available to staff members.
SELF ASSESSMENT:

- Recognize that a problem or error in any of the three phases can invalidate the results of the whole testing process?
- Identify potential pitfalls at each phase of the total testing process?
- Create a checklist to verify areas before patient results are released?
