The class teaches, in practice, how to evaluate Internal Quality Control, use the Levey-Jennings chart, apply Westgard rules, and interpret data.
The recording of “Unveiling Internal Control – Part II,” a free online event hosted by Controllab, is now available.
Take this opportunity to review the key topics covered by specialist Marília Corrêa, a chemical engineer and technical analyst in Controllab’s Service Management.
This event continues the “Unveiling Internal Control – Part I” session, which introduced fundamental concepts on the subject. If you haven’t watched the first part yet, you can access the content here.
What was covered in the class?
The specialist delved into the fundamentals of Internal Control, providing examples of how to use it on the CI ONLINE platform. She also explained the criteria for data valuation, emphasizing the importance of control rules in daily laboratory routines.
The topics covered included:
- Application of the Levey-Jennings chart
- Use of Westgard rules
- Data analysis and interpretation, along with corrective actions
- Benefits of using Internal Control
According to Marília, implementing quality control in the laboratory routine goes beyond simply meeting requirements; it’s a concrete advancement in professional practice. When well-structured, this control drives continuous process improvement and enhances patient safety, leading to a more reliable and efficient environment.
She also highlighted that quality control allows for the identification of interferences and failures before they cause major impacts, facilitating the early adoption of corrective or preventive actions.
The specialist further emphasized that quality control helps the laboratory demonstrate compliance to regulatory bodies, especially regarding information traceability. This enables labs to assess whether their analytical systems remain efficient or if a methodology might need to be replaced at some point.
Another significant benefit is the generation of alerts that facilitate decision-making. Quality control quickly signals when a result is unexpected or exceeds acceptable limits, guiding professionals to intervene decisively.
As Marília pointed out, the main objective of this practice is precisely that: to guide the laboratory towards a path of continuous improvement, making it more prepared, secure, and aligned with industry best practices.
