The Dutch Foundation for Quality Assessment in Clinical Chemistry (SKZL) is the professional organization that conducts external quality-assessment schemes in The Netherlands. However, such schemes in fact assess the performance of the internal quality-control systems of the participating laboratories. In this paper we describe a new concept, relating the data for internal control materials with those for external samples and thereby leading to a combined external/internal scheme (Combi). The statistical principles underlying the Combi scheme are discussed and examples of the graphical presentation of the results are shown. Because the laboratory data are transmitted over the public telephone system to the computers of the SKZL, we also describe the principles of the data communication. At two-month intervals a statistical presentation is sent to all participants. The central database is updated daily with the received results, making possible an on-line consultation regarding the statistics of the accumulated findings of the control materials in use.
