Monitoring laboratory data across manufacturers and laboratories—A prerequisite to make “Big Data” work

TL;DR: The necessary features of software packages needed to support PBRTQC are discussed as well as recommendations for optimal integration of this technique into laboratory practice.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current status of patient-based real-time quality control (PBRTQC) is presented, where the authors give the background of newly described optimization and validation methods.

TL;DR: It is crucial to understand what ethical, practical, and scientific challenges are raised by the use of electronic health records to generate evidence about precision medicines to address evidentiary requirements of regulators and payers.

TL;DR: In this paper , the concept, clinical impact, challenges and potential solutions for lot-to-lot verification are exained, and the authors propose a solution to verify the consistency of analytical performance over time.

TL;DR: So-called accuracy-based surveys, which use commutable materials and reference method target values, are becoming more widespread and have generated several improvements and interesting findings.

TL;DR: The outcomes of a Norwegian pilot study that investigated the use of commutable, fresh-frozen single donations to assess the current standardization status as part of an initiative toward producing common reference intervals are reported.
