XML Schema For Writing ISO 15189: 2007 - Compliant SOPs For Clinical Laboratory Examinations
XML Schema For Writing ISO 15189: 2007
Keywords:
Standard Operating Procedures, Accreditation, XMLAbstract
Standard Operating Procedures are generally hard copy text documents at clinical laboratories. Due to wider access to computer based technology, Standard Operating Procedures are increasingly kept in electronic form allowing easier and wider access to its users. Such electronic form of Standard Operating Procedures are generally in plain text form or some form of word-processor document. Such presentation-centric documents are difficult to append and revise and access online. Development of Standard Operating Procedures based on eXtended Markup Language(XML) can rectify these difficulties by separating data from its presentation. This study analyses requirements of IS/ISO:15189 and NABL, India for writing examination Standard Operating Procedures and develops appropriate schema for validation of Standard Operating Procedures for clinical laboratory examinations.
