WHEN QC SAYS STOP: USING WESTGARD RULES TO PROTECT PATIENTS

Quality control is not just about dots on a Levey-Jennings chart, it is the laboratory's early warning system, and when it speaks, patient safety depends on whether we listen. A violated Westgard rule is more than a statistical failure; it is a signal that something in our system has shifted, and the next result we release could mislead a clinical decision. This webinar, "WHEN QC SAYS STOP: Using Westgard Rules to Protect Patients," transforms the 12s, 13s, 22s, R4s, 41s and 10x from abstract rules into practical guardians — empowering laboratorians to interpret multirule violations, take decisive corrective action, and ensure that no patient result is released until quality says GO.
