Imagine a world where airline pilots learned to fly on live passenger flights! Unthinkable, right? Yet, in medical laboratories, we expect technologists to manage patient risk without the benefit of a “flight simulator” to practice and prepare for when things go wrong.
The Risk Evaluation Chart and QC charts in RiskGATOR software overcome that weakness. Fly too high and hit the thunderstorm; fly too low and hit the treetops.
Einstein said it is insanity to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result. It is equally insane to expect that labs can perform hundreds of different ways and expect them all to be equally effective.
This ADLM poster reports a study showing 399 ways to do QC wrong.
There is ONE right way to design QC processes to maintain acceptable patient risk.
