Strategy for 90% autoverification of clinical chemistry and immunoassay test results using six sigma process improvement

Strategy for 90% autoverification of clinical chemistry and immunoassay test results using six sigma process improvement

Six Sigma involves a structured process improvement strategy that places processes on a pathway to continued improvement. The data presented here summarizes a project that took three clinical laboratories from autoverification processes that allowed between about 40% to 60% of tests being auto-verif...
