Evaluation of clinical biochemistry laboratory performance using sigma metrics
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Producing a reliable reproducible accurate timely and correctly interpreted test results by clinical laboratory is very important since physicians decisions mostly depends on it for screening diagnosis and monitoring diseases To provide quality report routinely in all clinical laboratories internal quality control IQC and external quality assessment EQA programs are done which helps to evaluate and continuously improve analytical quality Recently new quality assessment QA systems sixsigma became more popular because it offers a different approach to problems Sigma metrics allow comparison of different processes with each other and thus improving the quality of testing processes This study was done to evaluate clinical chemistry laboratory performance using sigma metrics Keywords Internal quality control External quality assessment programs Laboratory Sigma metrics Sixsigma
