Save your laboratory time and money using Lab University’s innovative IQCP E-Optimizer program. The E-Optimizer is designed to assist you in developing and implementing a strong quality control (QC) program.

The E-Optimizer aligns with Individualized Quality Control Plan (IQCP) guidelines and is customized to the equipment, personnel, and unique testing conditions regardless of the size of your laboratory.

At ACHCU’s Lab University, or LabU, we have expertise and insight to help you develop your IQCP program. And you can align with the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) Quality Control (QC) procedure, which allows for an alternate QC option permitted by 42CFR493.1250.

Get What You Need With the IQCP E-Optimizer.

With LabU’s IQCP E-Optimizer, you’ll consider all the areas where errors might occur in your laboratory. The process includes a list of what you’ll need to gather to get started. In a short time, you’ll be able to perform a thorough and meaningful risk assessment and create an IQCP for the test.

The E-Optimizer incorporates all the actions you take to reduce testing errors – not just running controls – and that allows you to build a robust QC plan.

The IQCP E-Optimizer will assist you in meeting your essential objectives:

  • Perform a meaningful risk assessment.
  • Customize your QC plan, producing a plan that is clinically and economically beneficial.
  • Optimize your current quality control (QC) and quality assurance (QA) processes.
  • Adhere to federal, state, and accrediting organization requirements.
  • Ensure continuous high-quality patient care with optimal clinical outcomes.

The E-Optimizer provides the tools necessary to perform risk assessments and develop QC plans. It offers your laboratory the flexibility to choose the tools that will best suit your unique needs. With the IQCP E-Optimizer, you won’t be limited to a specific list of tests, and you can run an unlimited number of IQCPs.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regulates laboratory testing through CLIA. And the E-Optimizer meets CLIA guidelines specifying that all phases (preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic) and the following components must be evaluated:

  • Specimen.
  • Environment.
  • Personnel.
  • Test System.
  • Reagents.

The E-Optimizer can create IQCPs for any eligible test (all tests except pathology are eligible). And because you can create an unlimited number of IQCPs, you aren’t held back when you add services in the future.

Use IQCP E-Optimizer With Confidence.

With IQCP E-Optimizer, you’ll find your potential concerns already addressed.


Comprehensive Data Collection:

You’ll receive a clear list of data requirements to ensure you gather all needed information before beginning the risk assessment.


Ease of Use:

By following an established chronological set of questions and using a step-by-step approach, even those new to IQCP can develop comprehensive plans without feeling overwhelmed.


Cost and Time Efficiency:

The E-Optimizer helps you demonstrate that less frequent QC methods can be appropriate for your laboratory’s specific tests, saving money and time.


Regulatory Compliance:

You’ll be able to ensure your IQCPs meet CLIA guidelines by evaluating all necessary components, including specimen, environment, personnel, test system, and reagents.

E-Optimizer Gives You Plenty of Guidance.

You will be guided through the process, which also provides common examples of potential sources of error that could occur throughout all phases. Based on your responses, an IQCP Summary Report will be generated with your overall risk score.

If you want to start from the ground up, we’ve created the IQCP E-Optimizer Implementation Guide, an all-inclusive training guide to introduce and assist in the implementation of IQCP customized to your laboratory. The guide provides an overview of QC, including the evolution and basic concepts of QC, and covers the evolution of IQCP, how it’s defined, how it’s used, and when it should be used. It will guide you through the manual performance of risk assessments by using such tools as Process Mapping, Fishbone, and a Risk Identification Table.

Sharing Success Stories

The IQCP E-Optimizer tool stands out for its ease of use, which simplifies the process significantly. Being College of American Pathologists (CAP)-recognized, it meets regulatory standards without any issues. The reports generated are straightforward and easy to interpret. Additionally, the customer service provided by ACHC has been exceptional. Overall, I highly recommend the IQCP program for its efficiency and excellent support.”
