- Accredited medical laboratories will be able to demonstrate their competence to their users and the society.
- A laboratory must overcome challenges on the road to accreditation.
- Poor quality in a laboratory can have significant consequences that can result in increased cost in time and work, as well as poor patient outcomes.
