Register for this webinar to learn how to establish quality control standards across multiple instruments. With your registration, you will have access to the recording on demand through August 31, 2023.
DESCRIPTION
Laboratories with more than one identical instrument need to be able to calculate and understand their actual laboratory performance, because the physician and patient are interested in the quality of the results irrespective of which instrument performed the test. Based on this overall performance it is important to design a quality control (QC) strategy across these instruments. This webinar will describe the difference between the traditional instrument focused assessments and a patient focused assessment. It will also provide guidance on how to establish the QC targets and QC ranges when using multiple instruments.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This activity is designed for lab supervisors, lab directors (and/or assistant directors), lab managers (supervisory and/or non-supervisory), pathologists, fellows, residents, in-training individuals, and other laboratory professionals overseeing/conducting within this topic.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the pros/cons of an instrument focused vs patient focused assessment
- Calculate laboratory performance for multiple instruments
- Define how to establish QC targets & ranges for multiple instruments
