Module 7-Recording and reporting.pptyujx

Ok

1. Module 7 Recording and Reporting of Blood film Results

2. Learning Objectives At the end of this module, the participant will be able to Describe essential elements of recording and reporting Describe the quantification scheme for reporting results Report microscopy results on the Laboratory Request Form Record microscopy results correctly in the Laboratory Register. 2

3. Content Outline Essential elements of Record Keeping Laboratory request and report forms Recording and reporting results: Negative and Positive Entry of data into the Laboratory Register 3

4. Essential Elements of Recordkeeping   Recording means keeping the register up-to-date . Proper recording and reporting of patient data used to Determine work load Planning of resources Compile important epidemiological information for malaria prevention and control program. 4

5. Accurate recordkeeping is based around four elements: Completeness Consistency Credibility Timeliness 5

6. Therefore, Laboratory supervisors should regularly review Specimen Request forms Laboratory Register Reporting of results 6

7. Laboratory Request and Report Forms A completed Laboratory Request Form should give the following information: Name of health facility Date Patient’s name, address, age, and sex Type of specimen Patient ID/ Specimen ID number (laboratory serial number) Clinical impression Signature of person requesting exam 7

8. Microscopy Report The microscopy report should include the following information: Specimen ID number Date of specimen analysis Blood film result (presence of parasite, species, stage and parasite count/density ) If necessary (high parasitemia ) percentage of infected RBC in Thin films Name and Signature of Laboratory technician 8

9. The Laboratory Register: Is a record book maintained by the laboratory technician responsible for blood film examination. The laboratory register should include: Laboratory serial number Date of specimen testing Patient’s name, sex, age, and address Type of test Test results Signature of person responsible for tests 9

10. Malaria Data report Compiled from the laboratory log book on weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly basis. This will give us evidence on the workload of health facility laboratory for further planning of resources. H ave significant input to show the prevalence of laboratory confirmed malaria cases in the facility. 10

11. Malaria Laboratory Performance report form Age group Blood film performed Negative Positive P. falciparum P. vivax Mixed ( P. f and P. v) < 5 ≥ 5 Total 11

12. Laboratory confirmed malaria case report form Done by reviewing the malaria register and counting the number of blood films reported as positive with their species name and negative slides. 12
