The OAML's Quality Assurance Program is now in its fourteenth year.

By providing practitioners with consensus guidelines, developed by panels of experts, the OAML has been able to guide practitioners in appropriate laboratory testing and in interpreting test results. Our Guidelines for Clinical Laboratory Practice are developed with practitioners using community laboratory services in mind, but have gained credibility with hospital-based laboratorians, diagnostic manufacturers in both the United States and Europe and with academics worldwide.

Guidelines are subject to regular review and revision to ensure currency.

When the OAML has something important to communicate to ordering practitioners, the OAML develops a Communiqué. Communiqués and guidelines are distributed, by laboratory courier, directly to more than 20,000 physician offices throughout Ontario.
