The goal of this short volume is to act as an introduction to the quality management system. It collects several articles related to quality, quality management, and associated systems.
==About this list==
 
While this arguably may not be an authoritative list of organizations and not-for-profits relating to [[clinical laboratory|clinical laboratories]], [[reference laboratory|reference laboratories]], [[physician office laboratory|physician office laboratories]], or other aspects of [[health informatics]], an attempt has been made to make it thorough.
