Quality Control

The Quality Control module for ApolloLIMS is a fully integrated host based QC.  This enables QC review from any workstation on the network, automated QC re-run rules when there is a failure.

Key Features

• ApolloLIMS can be configured to track multi level QC (C1, C2, C3 … etc).  Each QC ID can have specific re-run rules assigned letting the local operators decide what actions are needed when QC limits are reached or exceeded
  
  
• If applicable, the local laboratory management can utilize ApolloLIMS to monitor trends with Westgard Rules (1 QC point outside of 3 units of SDev, etc…).  If a Westgard Rule is violated, the local operator makes the decision on how best to proceed.  All actions are documented and shown in the audit trail.
  
  
• The laboratory technician can easily identify any QC result that has failed the predefined criteria. If QC Rules have been defined, no patient result can be reported until the matching QC has been released.
  
  
• ApolloLIMS offers a variety of ways to ensure that patient results are monitored for quality and accuracy. In addition to pre-defined reports, commonly available data analysis software can easily retrieve data from ApolloLIMS using Object ODBC interface.

Reporting
The easy to use Windows interface makes viewing ApolloLIMS QC data very straightforward. The modern interface of the ApolloLIMS QC Module allows user with little or no experience to easily spot instrument quality problems.
