QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM – 2024 HEALTHCARE- DEPARTMENT OF LABORATORY SCIENCES
Members of QIP Team DR Amrita Singh: Head Lab Operation Dr Bhati : MS Dr Kalpana Jain: Sr Consultant Pathologist Dr. Vidya Menon: Consultant Pathologist Mr.Deepakk Kumar: Quality Manager Mr Prakash Chand: Supervisor All Technical staff
Aim for the current year-2024 1. To Record and Reduce All Pre analytical rejections. 2. CV of all the parameters to be improved
1. Pre-analytical Phase 2. Analytical Phase 3.Post –analytical Phase 1.Pre-analytical Errors Hemolysis QNS Clotted Inapp. Container Leakage Causes of Repeats : Where and What ?
CAUSES OF REPEATS PRE – ANALYTICAL CAUSES 1.Hemolysis 2.QNS/Repeat Sample 3.Clotted 4.Overfille/Underfilled 5.Wrong Container 6.Lipemic
Corrective Actions….. Two days Training session of Sample Collection Procedures organized for all Nursing Staffs & Phlebotomist by Becton Dickinson (BD) on 6-7 th Feb 2024 Do & Dont’s are circulated frequently.
