I just wanted to share some pictures of a trip taken back in late April.

New Survey: Polling your Concerns about Point of Care QC

Posted by Sten Westgard, MS
 
We've asked the world about their QC, their IQCP, and their Six Sigma. Now we want to know about the quality control practices at the POC, near-patient, and/or rapid diagnostic testing.
 
 
(As is our tradition, several participants will randomly be selected to win a raffle prize: in this case, an early advance copy of the 2019 Poor Lab's Guide to the Regulations, to be published in early 2019.) Please, share your practices - and frustrations - with us about your point of care quality!
 
(Note: this survey is only open to operational laboratories, not for vendors or manufacturers)
