Abstract
The circumstances which have led to the establishment of an Inspection and Accreditation Program by the American Association of Blood Banks are outlined. The need for such a program has been greater in this field of clinical laboratory practice than in other fields because of the awareness of the Public of the medical consequences from the transfusion of incompatible blood. In Pennsylvania there has been widespread cooperation in implementing inspection and accreditation of individual hospital blood banks on the part of pathologists and hospital administrators. Some of the deficiencies encountered on inspection are listed. It is possible that this voluntary program in blood banking may be extended to other areas of laboratory medicine.
