Quality Controls
Quality controls provide a way to assure the lab technologists that the machines are running as the should. It involves testing the machines to see if it produces consistent results day in day out. This is achieved by running tests with sample which the results are already known beforehand.
There are four components to this module
- Lots
- Controls
- Results entry
- Reporting
A Lot is a large quantity of reagent that can be used to run the controls over a long period. Each lot may have different ranges, thus the need to batch them into lots.
A control is the sample sample to be tested. Controls have a :-
- A name
- Instrument they are connected to
- Measures with ranges (Numeric or alphanumeric)
- Expected values
- Units
These are used to produce the reports and the Levey Jennings chart (Coming soon).
Just entering the results for the controls defined above.
The tabular report lists all the tests done on a specific control for specified dates.
NB: Since the measure ranges change over time, the only thing the user needs to do is update the ranges which will create new entries in the ranges table thus preserving the historical data of previously entered results.
