Thrilled to visit NCCL In Beijing today, especially Dr Zhiguo Wang (pictured with book), who has been a tireless champion of quality for decades. NCCL is a bit like CLIA, CAP, and CLSI rolled into one. They regulate. They conduct the National EQA / PT surveys. They also publish guidelines and recommendations for laboratory best practices. NCCL recently recommended that labs adopt the Westgard sigma metric tools for QC optimization. The NCCL EQA / PT survey is also presenting results back to participants with method decision charts. It’s an act of leadership we’re happy to see and support.
