UPCOMING Events & Webinars

The QC Toolkit: Interpreting Results, Setting Ranges, and Applying Failure Rules

Join Dr. Alec Saitman on March 19, 2026, for a webinar on laboratory quality control. Learn how to interpret QC data with Levey-Jennings plots, set QC ranges, apply Westgard rules, and respond to failures to ensure accurate results, compliance, and patient safety.

A Healthy Preoccupation with Failure: Leveraging FMEA to Drive Safety

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is often treated as a regulatory exercise, but its true value lies in strengthening how organizations anticipate and manage risk. This program reframes FMEA as a strategic, enterprise capability that identifies weak signals—such as variation, workarounds, and near misses—before they lead to operational, financial, or patient harm. Participants will learn core FMEA principles, explore why traditional approaches often fall short, and see how proactive risk analysis improves patient safety, regulatory readiness, and operational reliability through a practical, structured example.

Beyond QC: Lot-to-Lot Verifications and Proficiency Testing Best Practices

Join Dr. Alec Saitman on April 23, 2026, for a webinar on laboratory quality management. Learn how to design lot-to-lot verification processes, set acceptance criteria, and apply proficiency testing to predict and prevent failures while ensuring compliance and accuracy.

The Human Factor: Competency Assessment Challenges and Opportunities

Join Dr. Alec Saitman on May 21, 2026, for a webinar on competency assessment in clinical labs. Explore regulatory requirements, common barriers, and practical strategies to improve staff competency programs while balancing specialization and compliance.

Work Smarter, Not Harder: Using AI Tools to Streamline Workflows and Documentation

Join Dr. Alec Saitman on June 18, 2026, for a webinar exploring how AI and large language models can transform laboratory operations. Learn how to draft policies, generate QC summaries, enhance competency assessments, and improve documentation while considering risks and regulatory factors.
