International developments in newborn screening quality assurance.

چکیده
The five dimensions of quality are Accessibility, Acceptability, Effectiveness, Efficiency and Safety. A newborn screening program consists of a number of interlinked parts, not usually managed by the same individual, and the quality of the program is dependent on the quality of program planning, specimen collection, laboratory testing and follow up, diagnosis and treatment. Outcome assessment and feedback into program planning complete the loop. Use of the quality parameters can quantify ongoing improvements to our screening programs.
