CRI’s IQCP program is designed to assist clinical laboratories develop and implement their own individualized quality control The program contains the an innovative and intuitive software program IQCP E-Optimizer™ and an IQCP Implementation Guide.
The CRI® IQCP E-optimizer software tool provides all laboratories from small POLs, to hospitals and independent labs, with a guide or roadmap on how to perform a risk assessment and develop an IQCP. You will be guided through a chronological set of questions, offering common examples of potential sources of error that could occur throughout all phases of testing, pre analytic, analytic, and post analytic. Based on your responses to these questions, an IQCP Summary Report will be generated which includes your overall risk score and the IQCP components that you have identified throughout your risk assessment.
