A Quality Journey: 1997 to 2012
• In 1997,▫AABB was at the forefront of adopting quality
management principles.▫The QSEs were adopted over time in all program units
– but with slight variation and some inconsistency.• In 2012,
▫Quality management is familiar and well established in AABB accredited facilities.
▫The field of quality management has advanced.
