Focus on quality control – enhancing efficiency with navify Quality Performance
A high-throughput biochemistry clinical pathology lab in Thailand faced significant challenges in managing its quality control (QC) processes. With increasing sample volumes, limited staff and technology limitations, the lab struggled to maintain efficiency and accuracy. By implementing navify Quality Performance, the lab transformed its QC management, improving overall efficiency by 30% through automation that reduced manual workload, cut QC reporting time by 87% and shortened quarterly sigma calculations by 93% while enhancing test accuracy and reliability.
High-throughput lab faced specific challenges in quality assurance process
With increasing sample volumes, limited staff and technology limitations, this biochemistry lab in Thailand struggled to maintain efficiency and accuracy. Staff shortages hindered the ability to increase QC frequency without adding strain to the team, while the high workload from processing over 3,000 samples daily limited resources for supplementary QC activities. Existing technologies lacked automation and scalability, exacerbating staffing challenges and impacting measurement accuracy.
Software that enhances quality control processes
navify Quality Performance automated QC data analysis, reducing manual oversight and enabling real-time statistical evaluations. By comparing the lab's performance against global benchmarks, navify Quality Performance helped improve error detection and streamlined the generation of QC reports, saving significant time and resources. With its robust data handling and automation, navify Quality Performance enabled the lab to achieve more accurate and reliable results. The solution empowered staff to focus on higher-priority tasks, improving overall operational efficiency and ensuring compliance with quality certification standards.
Comparing performance against a peer group
navify Quality Performance is a web-based comparison tool that enables clinical laboratories to quickly and accurately evaluate the performance of their assays through statistical analysis of the daily quality control data. It generates real-time reports using QC data from laboratories worldwide using the same control lots, instruments and assays. These reports allow personnel to compare their lab’s performance against a peer group, supporting real-time benchmarking and anomaly validation.
I can easily monitor our performance and compare it with peer data, using peers as a reference. The real-time performance insights are easy to access, and when corrective action is needed, navify Quality Performance provides complementary information instantly.
