Description:
Testing technologies are constantly evolving, but labs still rely mainly on traditional quality control (QC) approaches to ensure that assays are performing as expected. Traditional QC has many advantages, and is an essential part of any laboratory quality assurance program, but QC events represent only a snapshot in time, measuring assay performance at the moment QC is performed. What if your lab could gather information on assay performance with each new patient sample?
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the Moving Averages approach to quality control.
- List 2 disadvantages of traditional QC methods
- State 3 requirements for a succesful implementation of Moving Averages.
