    19. www.zinqap.org.zw Our Commitment: Provide high quality proficiency panels, specimens Ensure specimens are packaged and transported in a timely manner Provide useful summary reports to laboratories in a timely manner Recognize challenges Stay abreast of EQA needs

    20. www.zinqap.org.zw Participating Laboratory Commitment Complete questionnaire accurately, thoroughly Follow instructions Be timely Communicate problems to: laboratory leaders PT providers Use performance reports to direct improvement efforts

    21. www.zinqap.org.zw Laboratory Management Commitment: EQA requires resources Advocate! Use data to illustrate the added value to health outcomes Thoroughly monitor EQA results Participate in implementing corrective actions In recent years increasing demands for limited health care dollars has created a highly competitive market place. As a manager of these limited resources you face knowledge and skill set requirements that were unnecessary even a generation ago. You have to be able to demonstrate that what you do adds quality and value to health outcomes and is an effective use of health dollars.
