Abstract
- Four trials of external quality assessment in diagnostic hematology were performed in 1999 with 350 participating laboratories in Korea. We performed quality assessment for white blood cell count, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, platelet count, reticulocyte count, white cell differential count, red blood cell morphology, and coagulation test. The response rate was more than 90%. The performance of quality assessment appeared to by gradually improved year by year.
