New Paper on Evidence-Based Statistical QC

Posted by Sten Westgard, MS

Westgard and Westgard, troublemakers that they are, are at it again: Establishing Evidence-Based Statistical Quality Control Practices. Am J Clin Pathol. 2019 Mar 1;151(4):364-370. doi: 10.1093/ajcp/aqy158.

Our goal: "To establish an objective, scientific, evidence-based process for planning statistical quality control (SQC) procedures based on quality required for a test, precision and bias observed for a measurement procedure, probabilities of error detection and false rejection for different control rules and numbers of control measurements, and frequency of QC events (or run size) to minimize patient risk."
