The Total Testing Process – Clearly regulating every step from sample collection to processing and reporting results (pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical phases).
Standardized technology – Ensuring all laboratory instruments, reagents, materials, and software fully meet international standards.
Staff competence – Supporting high qualifications and continuous professional development for our specialists.
Quality assurance and audits – Managing documentation and quality systems through regular internal and external audits.
Continuous quality improvement -Implementing ongoing measures to upgrade our services.
Patient safety – Maintaining a strictly patient-centered approach and safe medical practices.
Proficiency Testing and Laboratory Practices
Mrcheveli consistently meets the highest demands for clinical quality and professional competence. We systematically monitor all laboratory tests using recognized internal quality assurance (QA) protocols and external proficiency testing (PT).
Our proficiency testing is regularly conducted by leading German expert organizations:
INSTAND e.V. (Society for Promoting Quality Assurance in Medical Laboratories)
RfB (Reference Institute for Bioanalytics), part of the Foundation for Pathobiochemistry and Molecular Diagnostics (SPMD).
To ensure high accuracy and timely results, we monitor every stage of the testing process — including sample collection, transport, processing, and reporting. Continuous analysis of our key performance indicators and patient feedback drives our ongoing quality improvement.
Staying aligned with the latest advancements in laboratory medicine is a continuous process. Mrcheveli regularly updates its daily practices to meet evolving international requirements.
