Standarization or Standarisation? Harmonization or Harmonisation? We seem to be headed toward a schism in performance specifications, rather than a consensus. Here's a current comparison of Global Performance Specifications for Chemistry Assays.
We've talked about Westgard Rules for decades, and we've talked about Six Sigma for years. So what happens when we try to talk about both at the same time? Westgard Sigma Rules
Determining your QC frequency used to be the reserve of the few and highly sophisticated. It's time we made some calculators available so the rest of the world can do it.
Westgard QC is proud to announce the publication of the 2023-2024 edition of Dr. Sharon S. Ehrmeyer's book, The Poor Lab's Guide to the Regulations.
CCLM has published a set of 13 analytical performance specifications for measurement uncertainty. Only 7 years after the Milan Consensus Meeting. And only 15-20 years after MU took center stage in the laboratory quality debate.
The results are in! More than 600 laboratories from more than 100 countries around the globe answered the 2021 Westgard survey on QC practices. How are labs really performing quality control? The answers may surprise you.
Funny thing about measurement uncertainty - it's not always clear how to calculate it. Particularly when clinically significant bias exists.
WESTGARD QC promotes the latest news, education, and tools in the quality control field. Our goal is to bring tools, technology and training into today's healthcare industry — by featuring QC lessons, QC case studies and frequent essays from leaders in the quality control area. This is also a reference source for quality requirements, including CLIA requirements for analytical quality. This website features the best explanation of the Multirule ("Westgard Rules") and how to use them. For laboratory and healthcare professionals looking for educational and reference material in the quality control field.
THIS IS THE WEBSITE FOR YOU!
