What's New in Laboratory Statistical Quality Control Guidance? The 4th Edition of CLSI C24, Statistical Quality Control for Quantitative Measurement Procedures: Principles and Definitions

In laboratory medicine, our main goal is to improve patient health by providing laboratory results that support medical decisions. To meet this goal, the laboratory needs to report accurate results that enhance care and minimize patient risk. Analytical goal setting helps the laboratory assure that when their measurement procedures are operating in their stable, in-control state, the patient re...

Statistical Quality Control Procedures

Taguchi's emphasis on instilling quality at the design stage has been important in a number of situations and deserves careful attention. His specific robust design approach has yielded good results in many instances, but recent studies indicate that more classical designs can serve the same purposes-sometimes, at least, doing so more efficiently, albeit less understandably for the technically ...

Computer evaluation of statistical procedures, and a new quality-control statistical procedure.

I describe a program for definitive comparison of different quality-control statistical procedures. A microcomputer simulates quality-control results generated by repetitive analytical runs. It applies various statistical rules to each result, tabulating rule breaks to evaluate rules as routinely applied by the analyst. The process repeats with increasing amounts of random and systematic error....
