How Can ISO 15189 Drive Improvements in Anatomic Pathology? Focus on Risk Management

ISO 15189 is an international quality standard for medical laboratories. One of the best practices addressed in this standard is risk management. In this CAPcast from the College of American Pathologists, Dr. Frank Schneider, chair of CAP’s 15189 Committee, discusses ISO 15189 and risk management. Dr. Schneider, a pathologist at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, is also the co-author of a chapter on this topic in the new book, Quality Management in Anatomic Pathology, out now from CAP Press: http://capatholo.gy/2tnSsi1. The CAP 15189 program has issued a Risk Management Guideline that provides additional detail about the ISO 15189 requirements for risk management: http://capatholo.gy/2vjbeo4.
