Creating and maintaining a database of Standard Operating Procedures has been made easy with iPassport QMS. Existing SOPs can be quickly inserted in to embedded Word® documents on the system or cut and pasted into the embedded Word® file. SOPS can be shared across disciplines or made laboratory or sharing group specific.

The SOP module allows the user to create consistent Standard Operating Procedures while saving time and resource. The SOPs module has been well-researched and implemented with the help of customer feedback. The look and feel of the SOP can be quickly and easily changed and made to follow industry-standard formats.

The Word® based Standard Operating Procedures documents are easy to edit and simple to customise for any pathology laboratory. The SOPs can be searched on several criteria including author and creation date with a full alphabetical listing of all SOPs on the system produced at the touch of a button. SOPs can also be linked to policies, reagents, MSDS, COSHH and staff training records allowing your lab to work towards compliance with several sets of standards.

The SOPs module will help a lab to comply with regulatory requirements and quality control requirements for procedures. Troubleshooting guides can be linked as external documents if a particular step in a procedure has not gone to plan. iPassport QMS increases SOP availability avoiding common procedural errors that can reduce safety and quality levels, leading to incidents. All SOPs are can be held under document control with user access controlled down to a read only level. All document and print history is also recorded on the system.
