Evaluation of Sigma Metrics of Commonly Assayed Biochemical Parameters in a
Clinical Laboratory
Author(s): Lokesh Kumar Sharma*, Rashmi Rasi Datta and Neera Sharma
Background: Six Sigma is a quality management strategy to improve the quality of processes and lays emphases on
identification and removal of defects. Implementation of Six Sigma across laboratory processes allows identification
of errors and introduction of novel approaches towards cost reduction without sacrificing quality. Keeping this in
view, the study laboratory aimed to gauge the process performance of 19 routinely assayed parameters on sigma scale–
that will help in assessing the laboratory’s performance and will enable in working out and choosing the correct
approach towards improvement of problem analyte performance.
Methods: Quality Control data was harvested retrospectively from August 2019 to December 2019. Sigma metrics was
calculated for 19 biochemical parameters tested on Vitros-5600 using Tota.. View More»
