Data base management systems for evaluation of analytical procedures.
The present paper gives a short introduction to data base management systems, and their application in the clinical laboratory for evaluating the quality of analytical procedures. Two applications based on the MIMER relational data base management system are described in some detail: An internal quality control data base under development at the clinical chemistry laboratory of the University Hospital in Uppsala, and a data base system for external quality assessment developed in a previous NORDKEM project.
