@kevin Thank you so much for this very informative dashboard. I have been posting this to LinkedIn almost weekly with the view of changes.
How do I properly cite this as a reference for an article to be published in AJCP?

If you are an AACC member, check this discussion on how to assign the mean on QC charts. https://t.co/nZ6h1FEJqT

In this forum, "industry leaders" and laboratory staff are disagreeing about how to assign the mean on the QC chart.

Most laboratories perform instrument validations regularly on site to create evidence of acceptable performance. However, if those instruments start reporting errors, they blindly trust that their QC system will detect them.

"Weak oversight allows lab failures to put patients at risk. From drug screens to vital medical tests, secretive system hides lab problems from the public."

This thought occurred to me as I was watching the branches blowing in the wind and feeling me cheeks almost freeze this morning. If people can make simple sense of stats in other areas, I think we can do it in the lab too!

Over to you!

The linked article is one example of laboratory experts warning of weaknesses in QC practice that allow preventable lab errors and lead to patient tragedy.

I am looking forward to this CBC drama series https://t.co/Zsatie3LWk created by a TV producer who was himself a victim of this scandal. Remember this is a drama based on a true story.

Let's do the impossible in 2019! Let's prove the value of automating risk management to limit the size, number, cost and measurement uncertainty of patient results!

The process exists. It's called Mathematically-OptimiZed Risk Evaluation(c) or M.O.R.…https://t.co/w5tPBgLSEX

I am going to indulge myself as we end this year by sharing some of my favourite poems, rather than math and logic. After all, it is WHAT we care about that drives us to care about what we do with our lives.
