NABL

NABL Accreditation (ISO 15189)

NABL accreditation (ISO 15189) requires documented quality control, external quality assessment, reference range management, critical-value notification with read-back, and sample traceability. OneCity's LIS covers each.

Why it matters

NABL-accredited labs command higher reimbursement rates, TPA trust and patient confidence. Maintaining accreditation requires continuous QC documentation, not an annual folder.

How OneCity covers it

01

QC Runs & Westgard Rules

Daily internal QC is run against control materials. Results are evaluated against acceptance rules and gate result release when out of range.

02

EQAS Participation

External quality assessment scheme enrolment, cycle results and corrective actions are tracked.

03

Critical-Value Notification

Critical values trigger clinician notification. The notification and read-back are recorded — a key NABL audit point.

04

Sample Traceability

Barcoded samples are tracked from collection to result release with collector, time and condition recorded.

Modules involved

Laboratory (LIS)

Every compliance area OneCity covers ties into the same audit trail and quality tracking used across the platform, not a separate reporting system. For how this fits your broader accreditation planning, see our guide to NABH accreditation software. If you are sequencing this alongside other compliance work, our guide to realistic ERP implementation timelines covers how hospitals typically prioritise overlapping requirements. See our guide to choosing hospital management software for how compliance fits into the broader evaluation.
