Westgard QC Online QC Checker

James O. Westgard and Paul Schilling

This is a training and education tool for quality control in healthcare laboratories. It is designed to double-check the interpretation of control charts. Specifically, levey-jennings control charts with data pointed that will simulate a given mean, standard deviation, and certain out-of-control situations.

Users can enter their mean, standard deviation, and control limits, as well as the value of several data points. Then the user will be presented with graphic display of those control points, along with the interpretation of those control values.

Please let us know what you think of them.
