=WOULD YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR THE SAME WAY YOU RUN YOUR QC? =
They call it 'inattentional blindness' in cognitive science. In car
accidents, it happens when drivers look but don't see an oncoming
danger. Does this type of behavior happen in the laboratory, too?
When it comes to QC, are we asleep at the wheel?

ANOTHER LOOK AT LABORATORY ERROR RATES, 2012
A new study looks at the frequency of errors in laboratory processes
across the Total Testing Process. Are pre-analytical errors still
predominant?
Does monitoring quality indicators automatically improve quality?

WILL MOLECULAR DIAGNOSTICS REPEAT OUR QC MISTAKES?
A new field with explosive growth and complexity. A "traditional"
approach with rigorous implementation requirements. Can statistical QC
and Molecular Diagnostics mix? Is this new field condemned to make the
same mistakes with QC that other areas of testing have made?
Can we do QC for NGS, microarrays, and other new tests?
