Save the Date: Sigma Matters in Atlanta, AACC conference

Posted by Sten Westgard, MS

It's that time of year again, AACC/ASCLS convention time. And for those of you lucky enough to go, here's an event where you can check out the latest data and outcomes on Six Sigma. We invite you to beat the heat of Hotlanta and spend some time sipping iced tea and soaking in the sounds of Sigma-metrics...

Sigma Matters: Transforming Laboratory Quality Using Six Sigma, Informatics and Moving Averages

Tuesday, July 28th, 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Atlanta Marriot Marquis Hotel, International Hall
Dr. Alex Carillo, PhD, moderator
Dr. Joseph Litten, PhD, Winchester Medical Center
Dr. Philip Bach, PhD, Intermountain Healthcare
Sten Westgard, MS, Westgard QC

At this workshop, we're going to explore what happens beyond Six Sigma. Sure it's nice to find out you've got world class quality, but what do you do next? What are the actual impacts to routine operation of world class assays? How are outliers and trouble-shooting impacted? What do you do with those assays that aren't world class but are more like "problem children"? What additional techniques can you bring to bear on them? How can advanced informatics that look at moving patient averages or moving patient medians give you even more information about the quality of your methods?

Kick back, cool off, and join us for some world class conversation about world class methods.
