SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING AN OPTIMUM QC STRATEGY FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RESULTS

摘要

A method analyzes a quality control strategy. A quality control rule can define quality control events and specifying a control limit for determining whether a quality control event passes or fails. The quality control rule and a number of patient samples tested between quality control events can be received. A first expected number of correctible errors when a quality control event fails can be computed based on the quality control rule and the number of patient samples tested between quality control events. A second expected number of final errors that are not correctible when a quality control event fails can be computed based on the quality control rule and the number of patient samples tested between quality control events. An assessment of the quality control rule can include the first expected number of correctible errors and the second expected number of final errors as separate values.
