Q

All laboratory processes, policies, procedures, and resources needed to achieve quality testing.

A

Quality system

31
Q

Process by which laboratory ensures the quality results by monitoring pre analytical, analytical, post analytical stages of testing.

A

Quality assessment/assurance

32
Q

Part of analytical phase of QA
Process of monitoring results from samples to verify accuracy of patient results.

A

Quality control

33
Q

Concerned with total quality management (TQM), quality assessment, or continuous quality improvement each of which is designed to monitor and improve the quality.

A

Internal Monitoring Programs

34
Q

Are structured frameworks for ensuring the consistency in the quality of products and services to meet user or costumer needs.

A

Quality management system (QMS)

35
Q

Characteristics of good quality control: CRILNN

A

Concentration of analytes reflects to the clinical range
Resembles to the human sample
Inexpensive and stable for long period of time
Long-term stability
No communicable diseases
No matrix effects

36
Q

What are the possible solutions for QC problems? 4RPC

A

Retest the control again after mixing
Repeat the control using a new vial or lot number
Recalibrate the assay
Replace the reagents
Perform the necessary maintenance
Consult the troubleshooting guide, supervisor or service representative

37
Q

The most commonly used
Often called as average

A

Mean

38
Q

The middle point of the data
Often used with skewed data

A

Median

39
Q

This is rarely used and more often used to describe data that seem to have two centers (bimodal)

A

Mode

40
Q

Largest value in the data minus the smallest value

A

Range

41
Q

Average distance of values away from the mean

A

Standard of Deviation

42
Q

Standard deviation of the data set is divided by the mean

A

Coefficient of variance

43
Q

Average distance of squared values away from the mean

A

Variance

44
Q

Shows the distribution of values by plotting the assay values obtained in the x-axis and the number of times each value was seen in the y-axis.
Spread of data in which elements are distributed symmetrically around the mean with most values close to the center.

A

Gaussian distribution

45
Q

Refers to the sharp rise to the cluster of values at peak of the curve and then the gradual tailing off to the higher values in the population.

A

Non-Gaussian distribution

46
Q

Statistical test that makes no assumption about the distribution of data. Non-parametric methods rank the reference data in order of increasing size.
This is also the recommended analysis for the most reference range intervals.
Ex: Mann-Whitney test, Wilcoxon-Signed rank test, Krystal-Wallis test, Friedman test, Chi-square test, Spearman Rank of order correlation

A

Non parametric method

47
Q

Statistical test that assumes the observed values, or some mathematical transformation of those values, follow (normal) Gaussian distribution.
Ex: T-test, F-test, ANOVA, Correlation, Linear Regression
