ajlm-1068	Datema, Tjeerd A.M.; Oskam, Linda; Broerse, Jacqueline E.W.; Klatser, Paul R.	Review of the Stepwise Laboratory Quality Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA) version 2:2015	2020		.htm	text/html	4658	287	45	The paper by Ndihokubwayo et al. (2016) is the only paper summarising SLIPTA implementation and lessons learned.12 Two additional papers were found that present SLIPTA implementation findings, but these also combined SLIPTA with additional assistance.20,21 Both studies indicated that combining SLIPTA with mentoring has a positive effect on QMS implementation, although neither control laboratories nor findings on sustainability of this model were included.20,21 Ndihokubwayo et al. found that SLIPTA laboratories performed most poorly on the internal audit and corrective action sections.12 This finding is corroborated by other studies.22,23,24,25,26,27,28 They further state that advocacy for laboratory strengthening is key to the SLIPTA process (as it is owned by the ministry of health) and that particularly Francophone and Lusophone countries are not well covered. The ministry of health develops an implementation plan and prioritises SLIPTA applicant laboratories and allocates financial and human resources for SLIPTA implementation.	cache/ajlm-1068.htm	txt/ajlm-1068.txt
