The Pros and Cons of Changing a RoutineĬhanging your routine is more effective than simply managing stress in the moment because it reduces the stress you feel on a daily basis.

Moving average quality control: principles, practical application and future perspectives. Implementation of patient-based real-time quality control. Can a combination of average of normals and “real time” external quality assurance replace internal quality control? Clin Chem Lab Med 2018 56:549–53.īadrick, T, Bietenbeck, A, Katayev, A, van Rossum, HH, Loh, TP, Cervinski, MA, et al. J Lab Precis Med 2020 5:28.īadrick, T, Graham, P. Past, present, and future of laboratory quality control: patient-based real-time quality control or when getting more quality at less cost is not wishful thinking. Design and implementation of quality control plans that integrate moving average and internal quality control: incorporating the best of both worlds. © 2022 the author(s), published by De Gruyter, Berlin/Boston. Moving average patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) quality assurance quality control. We find MA QC especially useful for trend monitoring, detection of small shifts after maintenance and inter-analyzer comparisons. Additional utilization beyond real-time QC monitoring was identified.

Implementation of MA QC has added value for our laboratory setting.

For the other parameters, we identified MA utilization beyond real-time monitoring. For three parameters a direct MA alarm work-up method was set up, including newly developed built-in features in the LIS. For the six remaining parameters, MA QC showed added value to IQC and was therefore implemented in the LIS. Three out of nine parameters (Hb, ESR, and sodium) were excluded from MA QC implementation due to high variation and technical issues in the LIS. After this, MA QC settings were incorporated in our LIS for further evaluation and implementation in routine care. Using data extractions from the laboratory information system (LIS General Laboratory Information Management System), evaluation of usefulness and optimization of MA QC settings was performed using bias detection curves. Nine parameters (serum sodium, calcium, bicarbonate and free thyroxine, hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, reticulocyte count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate ) were chosen for initial consideration.

We describe the evaluation process and provide practical tools to aid MA QC implementation. We implemented MA QC for multiple routine hematology and chemistry parameters. Advantages compared to conventional periodic internal quality control (IQC) include absence of commutability problems and continuous monitoring of performance. Moving average quality control (MA QC) is a patient-based real-time quality control system.
