Stable lyophilized ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid (EDTA)-blood haemolysates were applied in an external quality assurance programme (SKZL, The Netherlands) for glycohaemoglobin assays in 101 laboratories using 12 methods. The mean intralaboratory day-to-day coefficient of variation (CV), calculated from the assay of 12 unidentified pairs over a period of 1 year, was 5·2% (range: 0·2–28·7). Forty-seven per cent of laboratories did not meet the criterion of CV < 5%, whereas 68% did not meet the clinically more desirable 3·3–3·6%. Linearity, as derived from the analysis of five combinations of two haemolysates with low and high glycohaemoglobin percentages over 6 months, was excellent (mean correlation coefficient 0·9953; range: 0·9188–0·9999). Analysis of two samples with high and low glycohaemoglobin percentages gave mean interlaboratory coefficients of variation of 10% for one method performed by several laboratories and 22% for all methods performed by all laboratories. It is concluded that the majority of laboratories do not meet the clinically desirable intralaboratory precision and that an unacceptably high interlaboratory precision exists.

Transmission Speed

To investigate the use of teleradiology in the quality assurance programme of a multicentre radiotherapy practice, we installed image acquisition and display workstations at each of two affiliated radiation oncology clinics. A commercial diagnostic teleradiology system was successfully modified to suit the requirements of the radiotherapy subspecialty. The system allowed intersite transmission of images, access to high-resolution images from each site and, by use of laser film scanners, made accessible all types of radiation therapy image. Transmission speed and storage capacity were better than expected. Using the system, radiation oncology residents and staff reviewed 83 complex cases over eight months. Case presentation and discussion were enhanced. In the same period, 276 cases were reviewed by conference in person. Case conferences for quality assurance conducted with the teleradiology system influenced changes in treatment planning as effectively as those conducted in person. Equivalent treatment outcomes were produced. The teleradiology system facilitated quality assurance through review of patients' radiation treatments by allowing natural interactive consultation.
