Practical Tips to Manage Laboratory QC Data
Presented at:
A Bio-Rad Quality Control Virtual Conference
Abstract
The effective use of Quality Control (QC) does not stop once QC results are accepted and patient testing begins. The key to reliable patient results and consistent laboratory processes is by managing QC data generated from multiple instruments. Dr. Nichols will discuss how to review and manage QC data, provide practical advice on using QC to assess laboratory performance, and offer guidance on troubleshooting QC trends and shifts.
In this webinar, learn how to obtain and analyze information from your QC data to ensure the quality of your laboratory systems.
After this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Review QC data for shifts and trends
- Critically assess laboratory performance against peers
- Identify the danger of making frequent QC range adjustments
