An opportunity to demonstrate your patient impact! If we face the reality that the laboratory future must involve a closer interaction with clinical care and outcomes, here's an award that focuses on that very thing. Demonstrate how your lab results improve care and benefit patients, and your healthcare organization will receive and award from a consortium of AACC, IFCC, HIMSS, Modern Healthcare and more: https://lnkd.in/dGBz5Fq hashtag#Univants hashtag#labfuture
[full disclosure: this award is sponsored in part by Abbott Diagnostics, a company with which Westgard QC has business.]

Thanks to Dr Carolina Prieto and SMLC for inviting me to the XV Congress SMLC in Santiago Chile. I presented on the evolution of the “Westgard Rules” and QC Frequency. This conference serves as an appetizer for a much larger event to come: ALAPAC ML2020 will be here in Santiago. Visit www.smlc.cl for more details. Mark your calendars.

So they calculated measurement uncertainty, but then they compared the results against Ricos desirable imprecision performance specifications.
Huh?

Remember in 2017 when there were predictions that Theranos wouldn't last out the year?
It appears reports of Theranos' death were greatly exaggerated... or maybe not
