QC Statistics and Logs includes selection from three different logs (liquid QC results by device within location, by operator within location and by date/time) or a QC summary report. The QC summary can be generated by device, location or facility and provides a total sample count, lowest and highest values, mean, SD and CV for samples in control (selection between 2 or 3 SD) and all.
This is a statistical analysis tool used for measuring the effectiveness of patient management based on the results of bedside testing. Though primarily used for glucose, the Protocol Report can be used to generate statistics on any test in QML. The following sections are available:
- Summary by facility and location assigned to the facility combined on a single page
- Total sample count, mean, median and SD
- Total sample count and percent of samples in each of the result ranges for the Protocol selected
- Location Summary for each location in the record set on its own page
- Same information included on the Summary above
- Optional graphing of the percent of samples in each result range for the location compared to all samples for the facility
- Patient Summary for each patients by location or patient
- Day summary with sample count, high, low, average, median, SD and percent in control for each day of testing
- Stay summary with sample count, high, low, average, median and percent in control for all days of testing
- Patient Detail for every sample for each patient in the record set
- Sample date and time, result value, result flag
This includes metrics of sample count and percentage of total for up to any five requested notes presented by a location or operator. For this report, “notes” are available from the following categories:
- Operator-entered comments, such as “Procedure Err”
- Meter-generated internal messages, such as “SPID” (scanned patient ID) used to incent operators or locations who use the bar code scanner for entry of the patient ID
- QML-entered notes by POCC/operators
- QML-generated notes
- Use of a QML function, such as “Mark as Processed” when completing the function to not send results to the LIS/EMR
- Internal processes, such as “Patient Not Found” when doing a lookup in the QML ADT table for validation of the patient ID
Results Reports by location provides a list of either samples held in selected Exception categories or those in the Result Repository. Use this report to get invalid Patient IDs, repeat samples, patient result exceptions or data from the Repository such as critical results.
Utilization by reagent report by facility or location with the following information for every device type in the record set:
AQC
- Total sample count
- Total result count
- Total result count for those out of range
EQC
- Total sample count
- Total result count
- Total result count for those that failed
Patient
- Total sample count
- Total result count
Notes
- Total count of samples with the note selected for inclusion on the report, for example ‘repeat’
Devices
- Total count of devices for each device type
Operators
- Total count of certified operators for each device type
Ever wonder how long it takes to get results posted to the LIS/EMR? Based on up to five different time frames you enter (e.g. 0-5 minutes, 5-30 minutes, 30-90 minutes, >90 minutes) this report can be generated by operator or location and will give you the following information by device type and optional reagent (e.g. cartridge). To further determine where delays might be, you can break it down by operational time, defined as sample time to QML import time and QML time, defined as QML import to QML output.
- Count of samples excluded from analysis based on sample notes (e.g. procedure error or patient not found)
- Count of samples included
- Count and percent of total samples for each of the time frames entered
Metrics of meter utilization, meter performance and reagent performance to include:
- Summary by device type (e.g. glucose manufacturer) and test across locations with:
- Total patient sample counts
- Total QC sample and test counts by material (lot and level) and reagent lot with mean, SD, CV and percentage in control
- Detail view of the above information by meter and test within location with optional inclusion of meters without testing
This provides metrics by device or operator and device type with next certification date for operators to include:
- Patient samples with:
- Total count
- Count of critical results
- Count with invalid sample IDs
- Count not sent to the LIS/EMR
- QC samples with:
- Total sample count
- Total test count
- Count above
- Count below
- Percent in control based on 2 or 3 SD
- Sample counts for up to five requested notes from the same categories available on the Note Analysis report
- Section with operators who performed no testing
