The complete RiskGATOR Suite — transforming your existing QC data into real-time operational risk intelligence that protects patients, empowers lab professionals, and reduces healthcare costs.
AWEsome Numbers delivers a comprehensive suite of clinical risk management services — each one engineered to address a specific gap in how laboratories manage QC today.
RiskGATOR calculates the probability that your analytical process will produce a Medically Incorrect Result (MIR) — expressed in time-based terms: one error every x hours, days, weeks, or months. Move your team from reactive flag-chasing to evidence-based risk governance.
Learn MoreStop guessing which Westgard rules to apply. RiskGATOR’s M.O.R.E. algorithms evaluate your actual process performance data and recommend mathematically optimized QC strategies — specific to each analyte, instrument, and reagent lot — eliminating one-size-fits-all rule sets.
Learn MoreNot all QC deviations carry equal clinical weight. RiskGATOR classifies each process deviation by its patient impact — distinguishing genuinely dangerous errors from benign analytical variation — so your team prioritizes investigation where it matters most to patient safety.
Learn MoreQuantify the projected financial impact of Medically Incorrect Results (MIRs) in real-dollar terms — including repeat testing, downstream diagnostic costs, and avoidable clinical interventions. Use this data to build evidence-based budget justifications and demonstrate ROI to leadership.
Learn MoreGenerate audit-ready reports and documented decision trails aligned with CLSI EP23A, ISO 15189, CAP, and CLIA requirements. RiskGATOR simplifies your next inspection and strengthens accreditation readiness — with evidence your QC decisions are grounded in quantifiable science.
Learn MoreRiskGATOR is fully cloud-hosted. No servers, no middleware, no patches. All your team needs is a modern web browser and an internet connection. RiskGATOR processes no PHI or PII, making institutional governance review straightforward — and your IT department stays completely uninvolved.
Learn MoreThe M.O.R.E. process is the engine behind every RiskGATOR service. Developed by Zoe Brooks over a 50+ year career in clinical laboratory science, it extends proven statistical QC science with a risk quantification layer that traditional methods simply cannot provide.
Where traditional QC relies on Levey-Jennings charts, sigma values, and rule-based flags, M.O.R.E. calculates the actual probability that a specific analytical process will produce a Medically Incorrect Result (MIR) — expressed in concrete, time-based terms your entire team can understand and act on immediately.
Rather than debating sigma values, your team now speaks a shared language of patient harm probability: how often could this process hurt a real patient? That shift in conversation changes everything — from how you prioritize workload to how you justify QC decisions to inspectors and hospital administrators.
Risk Management asks and answers five questions that traditional QC cannot. For every analytical process in your laboratory, RiskGATOR delivers:
RiskGATOR is built on decades of peer-reviewed science — including publications presented at AACC, CLSI, and CAP. Our 2023 survey of 399 ways laboratories do QC wrong continues to shape how the M.O.R.E. framework is refined.
One of the most immediately impactful benefits RiskGATOR delivers is the dramatic reduction of false-positive QC flags — the non-events that consume lab professionals’ time, increase test turnaround times, and erode team morale without improving patient safety.
Our 2023 survey found 399 distinct ways laboratories perform QC incorrectly — many of them rooted in static, one-size-fits-all rule selection that generates excessive false alarms. RiskGATOR replaces guesswork with mathematically optimized QC strategies tailored to each analyte and instrument.
The result: your team stops chasing problems that were never there and starts focusing on genuine patient-safety risks. Labs using RiskGATOR typically reclaim several hours per week per instrument — time redirected toward meaningful quality improvement and patient care support.
RiskGATOR was designed from the ground up to meet the dual demands of modern clinical laboratories: rigorous regulatory compliance and frictionless technology adoption.
On the compliance side, every QC decision made within RiskGATOR is documented with a full audit trail — aligned with CLSI EP23A, ISO 15189, CAP, and CLIA requirements. When your inspector arrives, you can demonstrate that your QC strategies are grounded in quantifiable risk science, not institutional habit or guesswork.
On the technology side, RiskGATOR is a fully cloud-hosted SaaS platform. There is nothing to install on your servers, workstations, or network infrastructure — no middleware, no databases, no patches. Your team needs only a modern web browser and an internet connection. Because RiskGATOR processes no PHI or PII, your institutional governance review is significantly simplified.
RiskGATOR aligns with all major global laboratory accreditation frameworks. Our documentation supports your accreditation process at every step.
In most organizations, the only IT action required to deploy RiskGATOR is adding our domain to your browser allow-list or content filter. That’s it. We provide all domain details and IP ranges upon request, along with comprehensive security and privacy documentation to support your institutional review.
