ABSTRACT
Quality standards as part of an effective quality management system (QMS) are the cornerstone for generating high-quality test results. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has the potential to improve both clinical diagnostics and public health surveillance efforts in multiple areas, including infectious diseases. However, the laboratories adopting NGS methods face significant challenges due to the complex and modular process design. This document summarizes the first phase of quality system guidance developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) NGS Quality Workgroup. The quality system essentials of personnel, equipment, and process management (quality control and validation) were prioritized based on a risk assessment using information gathered from participating CDC laboratories. Here, we present a prioritized QMS framework, including procedures and documentation tools, to assist laboratory implementation and maintenance of quality practices for NGS workflows.
