4 What s New? Notable changes and additions Alignment with principles introduced in CLSI EP23: Laboratory Quality Control Based on Risk Management Additional performance measures related to patient risk Expanded guidance on setting target values and SDs Greater focus on QC frequency and QC schedules More emphasis on recovering from an out-of-control condition 4

5 Patient Risk Sequence of Events Creating Risk of Harm for a Patient (Example) Hazardous Situation P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 Initiating cause Testing process failure generated reported Misdiagnosis Hazardous medical action Patient harmed CLSI EP23, Figure 6 5

10 Patient Risk Sequence of Events Creating Risk of Harm for a Patient (Example) Hazardous Situation P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P6 Initiating cause Testing process failure generated reported Misdiagnosis Hazardous medical action Patient harmed CLSI EP23, Figure 6 Probability (number) of incorrect patient s reported before the testing process failure is detected 710

14 Patient Risk Based QC Performance Measures Number of erroneous patient s generated before detecting an out-of-control condition Depends on Magnitude of out-of-control condition QC Strategy # of QCs evaluated QC rule(s) Frequency of QC evaluations (QC schedule) Allowable total error for the analyte 814

15 Patient Risk Based QC Performance Measures Number of erroneous final patient s reported before detecting an out-of-control condition Depends on When patient s are reported What recovery strategy the laboratory employs for identifying and correcting erroneous patient s 915
