title: The state of quality control: a critique.
abstract: Quality control of clinical laboratory testing must ultimately assure that test results consist of medically reliable information that is received where needed, when needed. This review shows that, despite the sophistication and complexity of current quality control procedures, numerous problems continue to prevent the achievement of this ideal. Solutions to some of these problems are suggested.
