Determination and application of desirable analytical performance goals: the ISO/TC 212 approach
1Department of Pathology, New York University, New York 10016, USA.
Abstract:
Desirable analytical performance goals are needed to place clinical laboratories' quality management plan on a rational basis. While the most important basis of desirable analytical performance goals is medical needs, a well-established quality management plan must take into account economic and regulatory needs. There are many approaches that have been proposed for determining desirable analytical performance goals. The ISO/TC 212 approach for rationalizing the various approaches for determining desirable analytical performance goals, which is based on the ability to meet medical needs, is presented.

Quality Control
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Quantitative Analysis
In quantitative analysis, two key measurements are made: the sample quantity and a property proportional to the amount of the analyte (the substance being analyzed). This forms the basis of the method...
