Technopath introduces QC data management solution

Oct. 2, 2020—Technopath Clinical Diagnostics introduced IAMQC Infinity for the management of overall quality control and proficiency testing. The solution aims to improve operational efficiencies through a unified QC technology platform, the company says, bringing people, systems, and data together to form a collaborative, efficient, and effective ecosystem that analyzes QC results in real time.

“With quality control data growing, and the management of that QC data increasing in complexity, our focus is on innovating and developing the best-in-class QC solutions platform for the laboratory community,” Malcolm Bell, CEO and founder of Technopath, said in a press release. “Modern laboratories have many constraints in their daily processes underscored by a rapidly changing requirement to quickly review current or historical data by lab, department, instrument, or test. Optimizing and managing QC data is imperative, and the Infinity platform is purpose-built to capture and evaluate these constantly evolving data types, allowing laboratorians to have greater confidence that their patient testing is producing accurate results.”

The platform includes three tools designed to facilitate the quality control process: IAMQC Peer, a real-time peer comparison software; IAMQC Daily, a comprehensive internal quality control software that applies Westgard or any user-defined QC rules to individual QC results; and IAMQC Expert, an interactive system that helps frontline laboratory staff select QC rules, reduce unnecessary repeats, and make meaningful QC decisions.
