Risk Management MasterClass
Move Beyond Compliance to Clinical Excellence with Mathematically-OptimiZed Risk Evaluation™
Why Quality Control Is No Longer Enough
Traditional QC systems were built for yesterday’s laboratory. Hidden errors still impact patients, waste staff time, and increase healthcare costs. This masterclass helps leaders transition to proactive, risk-based systems aligned with modern global standards.
Core Questions Answered
The Clinical Impact
- How do lab errors directly create patient harm and increase costs?
The Data Gap
- How many errors are actually reported versus statistical reality?
The Evolution
- How is Risk Management fundamentally different from traditional QC?
The Standards
- What do ISO 15189:2022, CLSI/CLIA, and EFLM recommend?
Acceptable Limits
- How do you define Total Allowable Error that protects patients?
Risk Metrics
- Likelihood of errors vs Sigma metrics: what matters most?
Live Simulators
Change risk drivers for analytical quality and QC effectiveness. Watch real-time impact on patient risk and healthcare costs.
Global Perspectives
Learn from global experts about regional challenges with accreditation, QC practice, and lab stress.
Bonuses for Attendees
Exclusive access to live simulators, special pricing on RiskGATOR software, and 50% discount for online risk management courses.
Interactive Simulator
Take the blindfold off sigma! Convert sigma to Medically Incorrect Results (MIRs) per year to see how:
- variations in acceptable risk impacts Margin for Error (that drives QC process design) while sigma remains constant,
- the risk of errors varies with patient volumes while sigma remains constant,
- acceptability of risk varies with the TEa value selected,
- sigma, Margin for Error and the risk of errors vary with analytical bias, while sigma remains constant,
- sigma, Margin for Error and the risk of errors vary with method SD,
- software can report the acceptability of risk instead of just statistics that you need to interpret,
- software can report risk metrics of the number, percent and probability of errors, instead of just statistics,
- Margin for Error (the number of SD to unacceptable risk) varies with acceptable risk and patient volume, while sigma remains constant, and
- Risk Distribution Graphs that show current and failed performance adds meaning add clarity to QC data interpretation.
Who Is This For?
Laboratory Professionals
Medical laboratory scientists, technologists, supervisors, and managers looking to master risk management
Quality Leaders
QA/QC coordinators, laboratory directors, and pathologists responsible for quality and patient safety
Forward-Thinking Leaders
Anyone seeking to implement value-based laboratory medicine and quantify ROI of quality improvements
Challenging Old Norms
The PT Fallacy
- “My proficiency testing is good, so quality is acceptable.”
The Detection Myth
- “Westgard rules detect failure immediately.”
The Sigma Trap
- “QC rules and frequency can be based only on sigma.”
The SD Error
- “You should combine several reagent lots to establish method SD.”
