SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOVERING FROM A LARGE OUT-OF-CONTROL CONDITION IN A CLINICAL DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS

摘要

Disclosed are a system and method to recover from a large out-of-control condition in a clinical diagnostic process. Upon detection of a large out-of-control condition, a CUSUM rule is designed to predict if specimen test data was produced during the occurrence of that condition. Specimen test data is re-evaluated and the CUSUM rule is applied to determine whether to accept or reject the test results. Upon completion of the re-evaluation, old test results identified as being invalid are replaced with the new, re-evaluated results and the new results are published if publication did not occur previously.
