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.


However, just purchasing a random laboratory informatics solution and putting it to use is no guarantee towards realizing the technology's actual benefits. Careful consideration, discussion, training, and policy adjustment are required to get the most of any new system. It would be beyond the scope of this guide to offer complete advice on acquiring and implementing laboratory informatics solutions. That information can be found in the Association of Public Health Laboratories' ''[[LII:Laboratory Information Systems Project Management: A Guidebook for International Implementations|Laboratory Information Systems Project Management: A Guidebook for International Implementations]]'' or Joe Liscouski's ''[[LII:A Guide for Management: Successfully Applying Laboratory Systems to Your Organization's Work|A Guide for Management: Successfully Applying Laboratory Systems to Your Organization's Work]]''.
