Your Quality Control Methods Are 50 Years Old. Your Patients Deserve Better.
Dear Laboratory Director / Quality Manager, The statistical QC methods most laboratories rely on today were developed in the 1970s — before modern analyzers, before precision medicine, and before the regulatory landscape you navigate daily. They use unverified assumptions, report meaningless "errors per million results," and cannot tell you whether a patient result is at risk right now. RiskGATOR changes everything.
Introducing RiskGATOR: Mathematically-OptimiZed Risk Evaluation™
RiskGATOR is the first medical laboratory software to implement M.O.R.E. Quality™ (Mathematically-OptimiZed Risk Evaluation) — a scientifically rigorous framework aligned with CLSI EP23A, ISO 15189:2022, CAP, and CLIA. Instead of theoretical sigma values, RiskGATOR reports risk as Medically Incorrect Results (MIRs) per failure event and estimates the probability of patient harm as "one error every 'x' hours, days, weeks, months, or years." You will know exactly how many patient results are at risk — and exactly what to do about it.
| ❌ Traditional Statistical QC | ✅ RiskGATOR: M.O.R.E. Quality™ |
|---|---|
| ✗Defines acceptable performance as a sigma value based on 1987 industry concepts | ✓Defines acceptable risk as MIRs per year and per failure event — specific to each analyte and clinical setting |
| ✗Based on incorrect formulas with unverified assumptions | ✓Compares estimated risk against given risk criteria (CLSI recommendation) |
| ✗Estimates errors per one million results — no clinical relevance | ✓Estimates probability of harm as one error every 'x' hours, days, weeks, months, or years |
| ✗Assumes QC processes are effective without verification | ✓Verifies Daily QC can detect unacceptable risk in a single run |
| ✗No breakdown for cause of errors — no root cause guidance | ✓Guides investigation of common faults causing reduced method accuracy and/or precision |
| ✗No cost analysis — healthcare waste goes unquantified | ✓Quantifies avoidable healthcare costs caused by lab errors and recommends improvements |
A Win-Win-Win for Everyone Who Cares About Laboratory Quality
Developed by clinical QC experts Zoe Brooks and Raymond Gerz — who have collaborated since 2008 and founded AWEsome Numbers Inc. in 2011 — RiskGATOR is aligned with CLSI EP23A, ISO 15189:2022, and modern risk-based QC principles.
