Basic QC Practices
In 2017, we conducted a QC Survey all over the world. But we primarily focused on the chemistry practices. What about hematology practices? We have just enough responses to help us paint a picture of the state of hematology QC.
In 2017, as part of the ESVCP meeting in London, we conducted and presented a small survey of veterinary laboratories and their QC practices. What do their results tell us about the state of quality control? Are they doing better QC than "human labs"?
The answers to the most complex control situation - how to interpret "Westgard Rules" when there are 3 controls at different levels.
In 2017, we conducted a Spanish language QC Survey in the 16 countries in Latin and South America. What do their results tell us about the state of quality control? Are they doing better QC than the US?
After a significant time elapsed since parts one and two, we continue our series on basic QC interpretation. We are finally tackilng that most complex scenario: what happens when we have 3 controls? How do we interpret across materials/levels? Does that mean we stop interpreting across runs? Here's another simple exercise - if you're told that all the rules have been broken, can you find where the violations occurred?
