Quality control
Quality assurance
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How close a test result comes to the true value of the substance being measured is it's: | accuracy |
| A substance that is tested for in the laboratory procedure for its presence or quantity in a patient or control sample is an: | analyte |
| the skewing of test results away from the true value is known as: | bias |
| The testing and adjusting of an instrument is called: | calibration |
| testing calibrators in the same manner as patient specimens to ensure accuracy of results is: | calibration verification |
| A solution of an analyte obtained from a manufacturer used as a measuring stick to set instruments ro read results correctly are: | calibrators |
| The certificate issued to a lab in which a physician, mid-level practitioner, or dentist performs microscopy is: | PPMP, Certificate for provider performed microscopy procedures |
| A certificate issued to a lab on the basis of the lab's accreditation by an accreditation organization approved by the health care financing administration is: | Certificate of accreditation |
| A certificate issued to a lab after an inspection finds the lab to be in compliance with all CLIA requirements is: | certificate of compliance |
| A certification issued to a lab that enables the entity to conduct moderate or high complexity lab testing until the lab is determined to be in compliance with CLIA regulations is: | certification of registration |
| This certification allows a lab to only perform waived tests: | certification of waiver |
| a sample used to maintain accuracy and quality in a procedure is a: | Control |
| A chart on which control values are plotted daily giving an easily assessment of the normalcy of the test results is: | Levey-Jennings chart |
| A measure of an instrument's ability to measure test results in an accurate manner is: | linearity |
| tests with more complicated steps and procedures in which the risk of erroneous results is higher is a: | nonwaived test |
| The description given to a quality system when test results are beyond the upper or lower limits of the acceptable range is know as: | out of control |
| The ability to repeatedly get the same results is: | precision |
| a quality control sample that is of the highest possible quality and accuracy is a: | primary standard |
| A component of the quality control system that tests the accuracy of lab procedures and staff is: | proficiency testing |
| A set of policies implemented to give patients the very best medical care possible covering all aspects of medical care is: | quality assessment |
| Any measure that ensures consistent lab procedures and accurate test results is: | quality control, QC |
| All of the labs policies, processes, procedures, and resources needed to achieve quality testing is: | quality system |
| unpredictable errors with no obvious pattern is: | random errors |
| Normal or expected values or range that covers 95% of normal, healthy, individuals is called: | reference range |
| the accuracy and precision of a testing procedure or instrument is: | reliability |
| the ability to repeat test results is known as: | reproducibility |
| a quality control sample manufactured and analyzed to very exact measurements is called: | standard |
| A measurement of the variation from the mean in sample of values is: | standard deviation |
| a noticeable pattern of errors is: | systematic errors |
| The value given by the manufacturer of a quality control sample as the expected quality control results are the: | Target value |
| The value for a test result that is based on the results obtained from the best qualified labs using the purest reagents, refined methods, and best technology is: | True value or gold standard |
| The ability of a test to determine those who have a specific decease or condition and those who do not is: | validity |
| the tendency for objects and procedures to change or deviate from the standard is known as: | variability |
| defined by CLIA as simple lab examination and procedures that have an insignificant risk of erroneous results: | waived testing |
