Quantitative Assessment of Analytical Phase Quality of Clinical Biochemistry Parameters Using Sigma Metrics
Background and Aims: Six sigma is the latest version of total quality management. It is quantitative goal for process performance. With increasing demands for improved accuracy and reliability of the results, Six Sigma is gaining increased visibility in the clinical laboratory process outcomes. The aim of study was to evaluate the quality of analytical phase performance in a clinical biochemist...
متن کاملSix Sigma as a Quality Management Tool: Evaluation of Performance in Laboratory Medicine 247 Six Sigma as a Quality Management Tool: Evaluation of Performance in Laboratory Medicine
In medical school, the first concept expressed to students is a Latin phrase, primum non nocere, meaning “first, do no harm.” This phrase is well known among health workers and dates back to Hipocrates. However, in reality, the situation is slightly different. According to the report of the Institute of Medicine, each year in the USA, approximately 98,000 people die from medical errors (Kohn et...
متن کاملError tracking in a clinical biochemistry laboratory.
BACKGROUND We report our results for the systematic recording of all errors in a standard clinical laboratory over a 1-year period. METHODS Recording was performed using a commercial database program. All individuals in the laboratory were allowed to report errors. The testing processes were classified according to function, and errors were classified as pre-analytical, analytical, post-analy...
متن کاملSigma metrics in clinical chemistry laboratory – A guide to quality control
Background: Six sigma is a process of quality measurement and improvement program used in industries. Sigma methodology can be applied wherever an outcome of a process is to be measured. A poor outcome is counted as an error or defect. This is quantified as defects per million (DPM). Six sigma provides a more quantitative frame work for evaluating process performance with evidence for process i...
متن کاملPerformance Comparison of Two Different Branded Blood Collection Tubes Used in Biochemistry Laboratory
Background and Aims: Blood collection tubes (BCT) with gel separators are diagnostic devices that can affect all laboratory processes. In this study, the aim was to compare the performance of a new brand of BCT with the sample tubes that are well-known and widely used in the market. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were taken from 50 healthy volunteers to two brands of BCTs (KWS and BD Vac...
