Multisite study of AST analytical performance reveals disparities in global performance specifications
The full poster can be downloaded from our westgard.com download section here. (free membership required)
But what was most rewarding was meeting with many of the co-authors who came to the meeting.

Thanks to all who attended the "Trust but Verify" workshop, the "Quality: It Gets Better" industry workshop, and to those who visited our booth, who posed with us for pictures, who shared war stories, and even those who just dropped by to say hello. It made the week rush by - and we regretted seeing it end.
Sten and Jim, after just finishing building the booth

Often we get questions about the problems that laboratories encounter when they wrestle with their local regulations.
Here we have a case where there are Turkish laboratory regulations that are irrational. In the words of the submitter:
"I have a question about the estimation of total CV. We have a requlation about total allowable error in Turkey....It is Turkish, but I strongly believe that you can follow it.
"The marked page can be seen below: There is an example for glucose. Two levels of controls are measured and the CV%’s calculated. The total CV are calculated from the CV’s of two different levels as seen in the equation. I can not accept it, because the levels are different even if the CV’s are close."
