QC Failure Case Study – Clinical Chemistry Scenario Trainer

Author: Claire L. Price
🔗 QC Failure)


Overview

QC Failure is an interactive educational tool designed to simulate a quality control failure investigation in a clinical chemistry laboratory setting.

Learners are guided through the process of: - Recognizing QC failure in patient test results - Evaluating potential technical and clinical causes - Making decisions to accept or reject results - Exploring follow-up actions and implications

This case-based tool promotes critical thinking and practical decision-making for those learning about laboratory quality assurance and error handling.


Learning Objectives

  • Understand the principles of internal quality control (IQC)
  • Identify patterns that suggest QC failure
  • Explore common causes of analytical errors
  • Practice evaluating whether results can be reported
  • Reinforce the link between lab data, clinical context, and lab protocols

Features

  • Realistic clinical chemistry case with interactive decision points
  • Multiple-choice reasoning steps with feedback
  • Visual cues and structured logic for interpretation
  • Final outcome summary based on user choices
  • Fully browser-based, no installation required

How to Use

  1. Open index.html in any modern browser.
  2. Read the patient scenario and QC context.
  3. Follow the prompts to interpret data and make decisions.
  4. At the end, review your interpretation and reasoning path.

Intended Audience

  • Biomedical science students
  • Clinical chemistry trainees
  • Medical laboratory assistants and technologists
  • Educators running practical QC or error analysis workshops
