• helps identify root cause of problem - QI
• Current laboratory result is compare with results obtained on a previous specimen from the same patient- delta check
• The ability to maintain accuracy and precision - reliability
• Abrupt change in distribution of controls wherein it accumulates one side of the mean for 6 consecutive days- shift
• Gradual change in distribution of values - trend
• In handwashing rinsing should be at least 20 sec and should be in a downward position
