QMAP is a streamlined assessment of your quality management system (QMS) by specialists from the CAP. It provides some key benefits of the complete CAP 15189 accreditation program, but in a shorter timeframe.
QMAP will give you objective feedback on the effectiveness of your quality system, and will help you improve it.
If you’re interested in ISO 15189 accreditation, QMAP will help you assess your readiness. You may be closer than you think if you have already--
- Done significant work refining your processes with Lean and Six Sigma
- Enhanced your document control system
- Established an effective root cause analysis process
A strong QMS will help you set your laboratory apart from your competition, gain more control of your operations, and take your laboratory to the next level of quality.
“QMAP will give you tools that will put an end to recurring deficiencies”

CAP 15189 Director

Evaluation by Experts
This program is carried out by trained, specialized assessors who have performed hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of accreditation assessments.
Deliverable
Assessors will create a written report addressing the following:
- Areas/functions that are at risk
- Overall strengths of your QMS
- Opportunities for improvement
Assessors generally focus on the following areas from the Management Section of ISO 15189:
- Quality Management System Structure
- Document Control
- Review of Agreements/Contracts
- Complaint Resolution Process
|
- Corrective Action Process
