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 کاملThe quality of laboratory testing today: an assessment of sigma metrics for analytic quality using performance data from proficiency testing surveys and the CLIA criteria for acceptable performance.
To assess the analytic quality of laboratory testing in the United States, we obtained proficiency testing survey results from several national programs that comply with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) regulations. We studied regulated tests (cholesterol, glucose, calcium, fibrinogen, and prothrombin time) and nonregulated tests (international normalized ratio [INR], glycohemo...
متن کاملApplication of Statistics to Evaluate Iranian Analytical Laboratories Proficiency: Case of Aflatoxins in Pistachio
The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of a proficiency testing program among limited number of local laboratories as an alternative to the IUPAC/CITAC guide on proficiency testing with a limited number of participants, specially where international schemes are not accessible. As a sample scheme we planned to determine aflatoxins (B1, G1, B2, G2, total) in Iranian pistachio matrix. A...
متن کاملIntroducing a Method for Achieving Standardization and Harmonization in Clinical and Research Laboratory Centers
Abstract Background and Objective: Proficiency testing schemes as a part of quality system in clinical and research laboratory centers provides the opportunity to evaluate the quality of test results. In this paper, we try to introduce the proficiency testing schemes as a useful method for achieving standardization and homogenization of test results in clinical and research laboratory center...
متن کاملLean six sigma process improvement in specimen receiving to improve stat chemistry turnaround times
Objective: As a consequence of stat turnaround times (TATs) chronically exceeding 60 minutes, our laboratory was facing pressure to divert limited resources toward the implementation of an emergency department satellite laboratory. Peer-reviewed literature in clinical laboratory quality assurance and improvement indicates that between 60-70% of errors occur at the pre-analytical level. Thus...
