The hemostasis laboratory has a vital role in the diagnosis and
management of patients with familial and acquired hemorrhagic and
thrombotic disorders. Rapid changes in the number and complexity of
tests in this discipline have presented challenges for
laboratories, as they develop quality programs for the oversight of
this testing.

Quality in Laboratory Hemostasis and Thrombosis has been
completely revised and updated to reflect the changing process of
managing quality. The second edition provides information on all
aspects of testing, from pre-analytic to analytic and result
reporting, in addition to external quality assurance. Chapters
throughout the book include the development of global guidelines
for methods, as well as the preparation of international standard
plasmas and reagents.

Designed to capture the elements of quality at all levels of the
practice of laboratory hemostasis and thrombosis, this book will
guide the reader through the development of a quality program to
support all activities in the hemostasis laboratory, both simple
and complex.
