I'd be interested in knowing what others are doing as well.  Currently we are doing a tech vs. tech correlation every 6 months and using the instrument diff as the standard to check against but we do not have anything in place for training for the rare diff that is way off.  I would also like to know what criteria folks are grading this sort of thing against.  I.e.  neutrophil count +/- 10% works but the 10% thing doesn't work for the lower count WBC's such as Basophils or even eosinophils. Thanks

It's basically a drag and drop of cells into categories and it autogenerates a report of what was correct/incorrect and what the incorrect cells should have been classified as. It's great for picking up gaps in knowledge.

    Auntie-D I looked at the link above.  Interesting... I've sent an e-mail for more info but in the mean time does this software grade the techs diffs or does a file have to be sent in?

    Thanks

    It's a package that you download onto the computer (the lisence is only for one terminal though) and you click a button and it does a report for you. I'm going to see if I can attach a file of one that I did.

    I hope this works - if you scroll through the PDF it shows what cells were wrong and what they should have been classified as. The program works it all out for you and it's instantaneous.

     

    PS I dragged one of the cells incorrectly so I didn't really think the eosinophil was a monocyte lol
