By going through the local and international accreditation processes such as MS ISO 15189, Westgard Verification, ACHS and MSQH, SunMed Laboratory builds the necessary quality management system which functions to reduce procedural errors and prevent errors from “going out the door.” These are “credential” that designates SunMed Laboratory as qualified and competent to provide services in the field or fields in which it is accredited. In addition to that, accreditation also allows for a regular, objective “checkup” that helps SunMed laboratory’s management make continual improvements in its operation and help the laboratory staff stay on the cutting edge of technology developments in their field. The regular assessments enhance staff discipline and sense of professionalism. SunMed laboratory staffs are more likely to be committed to complying with the firm’s quality management system and standards of performance.
