Abstract
Quality is simply defined as doing right things for the right people, at the right time and doing them right Quality is simply for the first time. It is a process which involves patient centered care, safety, effectiveness and efficacy. Achievement and maintainance of quality needs stringent control in clinical laboratory. Lack of quality is a burden to the society that can be measured in lost lives and wasted resources. So the quality measures are urgent attention. For improvement in quality six sigma principle has to be applied in clinical laboratory. Although the cost increases a little bit but the money spent on implementation of six sigma are eventually realized by eliminating rework, reducing errors and increasing patient volume.
Keywords: clinical laboratory, six sigma principle, eliminating rework, reducing errors, increasing patient volume, laboratory diagnosis, pre analytical, analytical, post analytical phase, improving the quality, increase reliability, systematic changes
