With over 40 years' experience, we have a proven history of customized products delivered with personal service. Our clients are composed of national and international players in the medical diagnostic testing community. Our services have achieved world-wide recognition: our Centre for Proficiency Testing is an accredited provider; and our Centre for Accreditation is a signatory of the Mutual fiecognition Arrangement with the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). These achievements set our services apart from others by demonstrating that we meet rigorous international standards for quality and competence. Our longevity is a testimony to our commitment to elevating confidence in the healthcare system. IQMH is a not-for-profit corporation without share capital, incorporated under the Ontario Corporations Act. Our history We started out in 1974 as a proficiency testing program, known as the Laboratory Proficiency Testing Program (LPTP), a department of the Ontario Medical Association (OMA). In the early 1990s, the Ontario government-funded Laboratory Services Review (1992-1994) recommended that a full "quality improvement program" be implemented to integrate proficiency testing and accreditation. In September 2000 the Ontario government funded the integrated quality management program, with the goal of developing and implementing an accreditation model for all medical laboratories over a five~year period. The integrated program was developed and implemented within three years, well ahead of the projected five-year period, and the Quality Management Program-Laboratory Services (QMP-LS) was born. This mandated program, which is responsible for assessing quality and competence of all licensed Ontario laboratories, is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC). Over the years, we have expanded our services to organizations outside of Ontario and Canada, thus in 2009, the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare, a non-profit, wholly-owned subsidiary of the OMA, was formed.
