Speaker:

Dr. Samantha Logan, Alberta Precision Laboratories and the University of Calgary

Overview:

This presentation will highlight the rationale, advantages, and challenges of implementing a quality assurance program examining the comparability of multiple chemistry autoanalyzers in a high-volume community laboratory in Calgary. An overview of accreditation requirements for assessing comparability between instruments will also be discussed.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand if your accreditation program requires periodic inter-instrument comparisons
  2. Explain the value of implementing a weekly intrasite quality assurance program for high-volume chemistry testing.
  3. Be aware of the challenges that accompany the implementation of an intrasite patient comparison program.
