'''[[Translational research]]''' is research that helps to make findings from basic science useful for practical applications that enhance human health and well-being. It is practiced in fields such as environmental and agricultural science, as well as the health, behavioral, and social sciences. For example, in medicine and nursing it is used to "translate" findings in basic research quickly into medical and nursing practice and meaningful health outcomes.

Hence, translational research is seen as a key component to finding practical applications, especially within healthcare. Connecting research with these practical applications can be challenging at times, however, in part due to the compartmentalization within scientific research training. Scientists in general are not taught to correlate their research with clinical application, and clinicians often fail to connect clinical observations with how they formulate a research study. And while public health professionals have plenty of the community knowledge general scientists and clinicians lack, they often skip over and formal training in basic or clinical research.

"Sigma metrics as a valuable tool for effective analytical performance and quality control planning in the clinical laboratory: A retrospective study"

For the release of precise and accurate reports of routine tests, its necessary to follow a proper quality management system (QMS) in the clinical laboratory. As one of the most popular QMS tools for process improvement, Six Sigma techniques and tools have been accepted widely in the laboratory testing process. Six Sigma gives an objective assessment of analytical methods and instrumentation, measuring the outcome of a process on a scale of 0 to 6. Poor outcomes are measured in terms of defects per million opportunities (DPMO). To do the performance assessment of each clinical laboratory analyte by Six Sigma analysis and to plan and chart out a better, customized quality control (QC) plan for each analyte, according to its own sigma value ...
