Abstract: | The history and the present condition of external quality assessment (EQA) schemes for clinical laboratories in Russia are
described briefly. The creation of EQA programmes started in Russia in the 1980s. Now almost 20 years later these schemes
have been transformed. The National External Quality Assessment Scheme ensures quality control in the clinical chemistry sector
(more than 2000 laboratories) and is the most powerful scheme in Russia. The (Sistema Vneshnego Kontrola Katchestva, *) (BKK)
system, covering about 120 Russian laboratories, and a lot of local regional programmes (mainly in Siberia), is also very
active. The purposes and design of the operating programs, reference materials used, algorithms of estimation, modes of result
representation and development prospects are considered. The basic obstacle to the development of EQA schemes in Russia is
financial restriction. |
