Performance criteria and quality indicators for the pre-analytical phase.
The definition, implementation and monitoring of valuable analytical quality specifications have played a fundamental role in improving the quality of laboratory services and reducing the rates of analytical errors. However, a body of evidence has been accumulated on the relevance of the extra-analytical phases, namely the pre-analytical steps, their vulnerability and impact on the overall qual...
متن کاملPerformance criteria and quality indicators for the post-analytical phase.
BACKGROUND Quality indicators (QIs) used as performance measurements are an effective tool in accurately estimating quality, identifying problems that may need to be addressed, and monitoring the processes over time. In Laboratory Medicine, QIs should cover all steps of the testing process, as error studies have confirmed that most errors occur in the pre- and post-analytical phase of testing. ...
متن کاملBenchmarking and Performance Criteria
Performance measurement and benchmarking are obviously intertwined. Merriam Webster’s online dictionary (www.m-w.com) defines benchmarking as “the study of a competitor’s product or business practices in order to improve the performance of one’s own company.” However, the term derives from the noun benchmark. The definition of a benchmark includes “a point of reference from which measurements m...
متن کاملCriteria for performance evaluation
Using a cognitive task (mental calculation) and a perceptual-motor task (stylized golf putting), we examined differential proficiency using the CWS index and several other quantitative measures of performance. The CWS index (Weiss & Shanteau, 2003) is a coherence criterion that looks only at internal properties of the data without incorporating an external standard. In Experiment 1, college stu...
متن کاملPerformance Parameters I: Defining Performance Criteria
Today’s ultrasound imaging systems produce better images and display more information than it was possible to display 30 years ago. Similarly, performance criteria for ultrasound imaging systems and the tools used to make these measurements have evolved, and have become more complex. This presentation will informally discuss a few examples of the evolution of ultrasound imaging systems and perf...
