Your QC Foundation Is Proven. Today’s Risks Demand Greater Visibility.
Dear Laboratory Director / Quality Manager, The statistical quality control methods that transformed laboratory medicine remain foundational to quality practice. Today’s laboratories, however, operate in a far more complex environment—facing tighter regulatory expectations, faster analytical systems, increased operational variability, and greater accountability for patient outcomes. RiskGATOR helps laboratories build on proven QC science with real-time operational risk intelligence aligned with modern standards.
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. Building on established analytical metrics such as sigma, RiskGATOR translates QC performance into 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™ |
|---|---|
| ✗Reports rule violations without quantifying patient impact | ✓Quantifies patient impact before results are reported |
| ✗Assumes statistical performance equals clinical safety | ✓Verifies clinical risk in real time |
| ✗Estimates errors per one million results — no clinical relevance | ✓Estimates probability of harm as one error every 'x' hours, days, weeks, months, or years |
| ✗QC rule performance does not directly verify daily detection capability | ✓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.
