A laboratory survey follows the specimen, and so does this documentation.
Overview
Built for the GAHAR Handbook for Clinical Laboratories Accreditation Standards, Edition 2025, issued by Egypt's General Authority for Healthcare Accreditation and Regulation, this is a quality management system for private and hospital-based clinical laboratories. It runs the length of the testing pathway and carries the supporting systems GAHAR assesses alongside it: biosafety and biosecurity, information security, ethics, equipment, utilities and environmental safety.
The technical weight sits where laboratory accreditation is decided: method selection, verification and validation; internal quality control with a defined violation and corrective action route; external quality assessment and method comparison where no EQA scheme exists for an analyte. Result review and release, turnaround time and STAT testing, critical result communication and amended reporting are separately controlled, each with the log that proves it happened. The nine GAHAR Safety Requirements, GSR.01 to GSR.09, are treated individually, from specimen identification and critical results through to fire safety and equipment management, because one unmet safety requirement stops an accreditation decision on its own. A compliance matrix links each 2025 requirement to a document and an evidence source.
What this system covers
- Pre-examination process — test requesting, patient preparation and identification, collection, transport, reception and rejection
- Examination integrity — reagent control, method selection, verification and validation, new-lot and shipment checks
- Quality control and external assessment — internal QC, violation and corrective action, EQA and method comparison
- Reporting and critical results — result review and release, turnaround time, STAT testing, critical result notification
- Biosafety and infection prevention — hand hygiene, sterilisation and autoclave load release, hazardous materials
- Facility, equipment and utilities — calibration, environmental safety rounds, utilities and emergency preparedness
- Client rights and information governance — informed consent, confidentiality, complaints and satisfaction
Who it's for
For laboratory directors, quality officers, biosafety officers and accreditation coordinators in private and hospital-based clinical laboratories in Egypt. It is bought when a GAHAR survey date is fixed and daily practice turns out to be largely undocumented, and it leaves the laboratory able to score itself against the 2025 decision rules and to show, for each requirement, an owner, a procedure and a record.
