[ISO 15189, Up-To-Date Information and Prospective View].
"Accreditation Activities for Medical Laboratories in Japan" Audits for transition to ISO 15189:2012 continue to progress. Besides the continual increase of accreditations for medical laboratory testing and pathological examinations, preparations for the addition of physiological testing to the scope of accreditation have finally been completed. As a part of the revision to Japan's Medical Service Act, the external evaluation of medical laboratories is now a requirement to approve clinical trial core hospitals. Accordingly, the importance of third-party accreditation in medical laboratory testing is attracting a growing level of attention. World Accreditation Day 2015 "Accreditation: Supporting the Delivery of Health and Social Care" JAB is being used to make every effort to contribute to this system in order to improve the quality of healthcare in Japan and the health of its citizens.
