A clear path to Internal Quality Control
9 simple steps to follow to deal with the challenges of Internal Quality Control and achieve good stability of the analytical system.
Stability that leads to security in the release of results, increased reliability for doctors and patients and greater request for tests from the laboratory.
The IQC Journey is a simple-to-follow system, delivering tools for quality managers and laboratory professionals who need to:
- Apply rules for all analytes daily
- Know errors and perform critical analysis quickly
- Have a stable analytical system, achieving security in releasing results to patients
All you need to do is know each step and the tool needed in each one.
We will be by your side every step of the way!
I - Construction of the Base and Routine
Establish the foundations of IQC routine, standardizing analytical processes, management of control materials and equipment.
II - Error Survey and Critical Analysis
Application of Westgard rules, survey and critical analysis of errors to validate control and ensure the quality of results.
III - Corrective Actions and System Stability
Application of corrective actions for nonconformities, root investigation and implementation to achieve analytical stability.
The laboratory at point A faces challenges to validate control daily, perform critical analysis correctly, apply multiple rules and manage notes and staff turnover.
At point B, the laboratory managed to stabilize its system, reducing errors, with tools that help at each stage, carrying out faster and more assertive critical analyses, ensuring safe delivery of results, which leads to the trust of doctors and patients and the acquisition of more customers.
