INITIAL RESULTS TO BUILDING THE REFERENCE LABORATORIES NETWORK ACCORDING TO IFCC/ JCTLM RECOMMEND ESTABLISHED BY THE QUALITY CONTROL CENTER FOR MEDICAL LABORATORIES, MINISTRY OF HEALTH IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY AT HO CHI MINH CITY

Abstract
Objective: To build a model of reference laboratories according to IFCC/JCTLM experts’ recommendations and the role of these laboratories in the biochemistry external quality assessment program. Methods: conducting a reference laboratory workshop, collecting expert recommendations, selecting laboratories that meet the criteria and voluntarily participate, making references for nine parameters of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, creatinine, uric acid, ALT, AST, GGT of 12 EQA samples of the Quality control center of the medical laboratory of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City (QCCUMP) in 2021. Results: 100% of reference laboratories get “accepted” EQA results in all 12 samples in 2021; more than 70% to nearly 80% of EQA results were achieved “accepted” in the group of participating laboratories. Conclusion: The QCCUMP initially successfully built a network of 8 reference laboratories according to the recommendations of IFCC/JCTLM experts. The next step is to complete the national referral network. The reference laboratories in the network contributed to determining the correct value (assigned value) for nine test parameters of 12 EQA samples in 2021, contributing to harmonizing the results of participating laboratories.
