Recall back in July we mentioned a raffle for a "Westgard Rules" Bobble-head?
Well, the Bobble-heads took a bit longer to arrive (that boat from China is slower than we thought), so we can now announce the winners...

On August 16th of this year, CMS issued a new memo about IQCPs. If you recall, IQCP stands for Individualized Quality Control Plan, and it's part of the new Risk QC being proposed by CMS as a replacement for EQC. The CLSI guideline EP23, which came out about two years ago, laid out the broad outlines of this new policy, but we have been waiting for the government regulations to spell out the specifics of implementation and interpretation.
