Your Feedback Is Appreciated

Why Your Input Matters

The GLI Quality Tool was built through collaboration with laboratory professionals, quality managers, and public health partners — including the TB CARE I project, KIT Royal Tropical Institute, CDC, The Union, and KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation. Ongoing user feedback is essential to keeping the tool practical and relevant.

Whether you have suggestions for improving the checklists, ideas for new guidance, or simply want to share how the phased roadmap has worked in your setting, we welcome your perspective.

The GLI Quality Tool is designed to guide laboratories through a stepwise journey toward improved quality management, from the essential foundations of structure, facilities, and safety through to personnel, equipment, and documentation systems. Each phase of the tool builds logically on the previous one, helping laboratories establish processes for purchasing, inventory, records, and customer assessment before moving into more advanced areas such as nonconforming event management and continual improvement. By providing clear checklists and a practical roadmap, the tool supports national TB programs and individual facilities in implementing quality systems that align with international standards and accreditation expectations, all while remaining adaptable to local contexts and resource levels.

Feedback from users across different laboratory settings plays a vital role in the ongoing refinement of this resource. As the tool is renewed and optimized for broader implementation, the development team relies on observations from the field to identify what works well, what could be clarified, and what additional support materials might be helpful. Whether a user is just beginning with the essential phases or has progressed through the full stepwise plan, their perspective contributes directly to making the tool more practical and user-friendly. Sharing experiences, challenges, and suggestions ensures that the GLI Quality Tool continues to serve as a meaningful resource for laboratories working to strengthen quality systems and improve diagnostic services.
