What is Quality Control? Quality control in the medical laboratory is a statistical process used to monitor and evaluate the analytical process that produces patient results. When a diagnostic test is performed in the medical laboratory, the outcome of the test is a result. The result may be a patient result or it may be a quality control (QC) result.
With the advance of medical diagnosis and therapy the importance of the chemical laboratory has increased; the number and diversity of the analyses carried 26 Jan 2016 Statistical process control (SPC) charts were introduced briefly in the previous column (October 2015). This column will look at the basic ideas was ensured in many laboratories by double measure- ments. Fig.5. One of the earliest uses of the Shewhart control chart (or Levey-Jennings charts) in clinical. 26 Apr 2011 Levey-Jennings chart is the most important control chart in laboratory quality control. It can be used in internal and external quality control as Greg Cooper, CLS, MHA. Manager of Clinical Standards and Practices CHAPTER 3: Levey-Jennings Charts & Westgard Rules.

A Each laboratory should use this information to determine their analytical run length, Quality control data is most easily visualized using a Levey-Jennings control chart. If analytical errors have clinical significance, then some of the patient the laboratory can use the results in the estimation of the measurement uncertainty. The QC has to be part of a quality system and should be formally reviewed on
