WS IV - 3 Kasus Dari Dr. Tjan Sian - Six Sigma KOnas Case Study FINAL

This document discusses calculating Six Sigma metrics for internal quality control in clinical laboratories. It recommends calculating bias from external quality assessment scheme (EQAS) data and coefficient of variation (CV) or standard deviation (SD) from internal quality control (IQC) data over 3-6 months. Six Sigma is then calculated as (target value - bias) / SD. Case studies on glucose and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) measurements demonstrate calculating bias, CV, and Six Sigma. Issues with imprecision or inaccuracy can be identified and troubleshot by comparing Six Sigma between EQAS and IQC data. The goal is effective quality control management with high error detection and low false rejection rates.

Should Six Sigma be Calculated

for Internal Quality Control in Clinical Laboratory

CASE STUDY

Tjan Sian Hwa

• Choose TEA
• Calculate bias from 3-4 stable EQAS
• Peer group : same method, instruments, reagent
• Calculate CV/SD from 3-6 months IQC data
• Remove outliers

• EQAS

A. BIAS = ……
B. BIAS = …… %
• EQAS

A. BIAS = (126,04-122) = 4,04 .


B. BIAS = (126.04-122)/122*100 = 3,3%
IQC PEERGROUP
Sigma = ( TEA – Bias ) / S

PRESISI (CV, SD)


Presisi Hasil PMI :
• 3-6 bulan
• Menggambarkan berbagai lot reagen, kalibrator dan kondisi
Pada kadar normal dan abnormal

Sigma in L1 and L2 significantly differ
SIGMA 2,7 GOOD QC RULES :
SIGMA 5,76 ❖ High error detection
AVERAGE SIGMA : 2.7+5.76 = 4.2 ❖ Low false rejection
SIGMA CALCULATION
• MAKE IQC PLAN : Concentration, run, and
rules
• FOCUS ON PROBLEM TESTS

QGI: CV > →Imprecision → Random error
=Bias /(1,5*CV) Bias > → Inaccuracy → Systematic error
= 1.3/1.5*2.3 = 0,4
CAUSE OF RANDOM ERROR:
• Unstable Electricity, Grounding, Vibration,

• Pipetting ,

• Probe contamination
0.8-1.2 Imprecision and
Inaccuracy • Unstable reagent

Bias = 1,1
CV2 = 3,3%
Sigma = ( 20-1,1)/3,3 = 5,8

What do you think is the cause :
A. Inaccuracy
B. The EQAS result is just a coincidence
C. Imprecision
D. Lab use inappropriate rules

TAKE HOME MESSAGE :
• Do the right IQC right • Effective and efficient QC
• Use lab own mean management by having high error
• Choose the right EQA provider detection and low false IQC program
• Calculate sigma for lab
performance • Improve accuracy and patient safety
• Use the right rule • Cost saving
• Trouble shoot and solve the
problem
