Your chance to be part of a quality control innovation
Over the past 60 years, we’ve been working hard to push quality control forward in medical labs, and improve the overall quality of patient care. And now, we’re looking for your help.
Like you, our goal is to produce reliable patient results, as we know that unreliable results can lead to patient harm. But what is severity of harm and how can a lab use this criteria to define and optimize its quality control strategy?
We’re asking leading professionals to help develop a standardized scale for severity of harm parameters in laboratories. Our quick survey will ask you to rate analytes based on how you currently measure their severity of harm.
