Both CAP’s Laboratory Accreditation Program and The Joint Commission require laboratories to have mechanisms in place to communicate critical values in a timely and accurate manner to clinical care providers. A common laboratory practice is to repeat critical values before reporting the test results to the clinical care provider. With today’s modern instrumentation, this may be an unnecessary step that delays the reporting of critical test results without adding value to the quality or accuracy of the test result.

Utility of Repeat Testing of Critical Values QP102New

Q-PROBES



The 2009 Joint Commission Patient Safety Goal NPSG.03.05.01: “Reduce the likelihood of patient harm associated with the useof anticoagulant therapy [formerly Goal 3E]” requires systematic changes in patient care to reduce the likelihood of patientharm associated with the use of anticoagulation therapy. The CAP also closely reviews laboratory anticoagulation testing(HEM.23220-23575).

Errors in anticoagulation testing in the laboratory have directly contributed to patient harm in several well-documented instances. Laboratories play an important role in anticoagulation management and should routinely review their managementactivities.

Patient Safety Practices for Monitoring PT/INR QP103

Objective Determine how laboratories monitor INR calculations, patient values, and reference ranges (per HEM.23430) and determine the percentage of critical PT/INR results that are successfully provided to a licensed caregiver.

Data Collection Perform an audit of the laboratory’s most recent PT test validation to determine if the five required validation components for correct INR calculations were incorporated and documented. The five validation components are:

1. Change in (most recent) lot or type of PT reagent recorded and compared to prior lot2. Change of instrumentation recorded and compared to prior instrument (if applicable)3. Establishment of the most recent PT reference range4. INR calculation validation5. At defined intervals, PT/INR results and calculations are audited

In addition, prospectively review 40 critical PT/INR results occurring over a three-week period (or if less than 40 are received, the total number of critical PT/INR results) to determine the number that were successfully reported to a licensed caregiver withread-back.

A survey will also include questions related to the prevalence of PT/INR point of care testing, how inter- and intra-laboratorycomparisons are performed for PT/INR tests, the current critical values, turnaround times for PT/INR, and additional laboratoryanticoagulation practices.

Performance Indicators

Primary: • Percentage of successfully communicated PT/INR critical results to the responsible caregiver

Secondary: • Percentage of required validation components for correct INR calculations documented for the most recent PT test validation

A benign diagnosis in a surgical specimen in the setting of a radiographically suspicious abnormality may be due to a non-representative sample, and lack of recognition of discordance by the clinical team may lead to a delay in diagnosis. This isof particular importance with breast lesions. Correlation of findings in the surgical pathology report with radiologic findings isimportant for quality patient care.

Mammography Correlation with Pathology Reports QP104

Objective Determine the rate that surgical pathology reports correlate histologic abnormalities with radiographic findings.

Data Collection Retrospectively review 40 surgical reports for correlation of the histologic findings with radiologic findings. Participants will beasked to tabulate the number of specimens for which radiologic findings were available and the number of cases that containedspecific histologic findings that correlated with the radiographic findings. Specific radiographic findings (ie, calcifications, multiple abnormalities) will also be assessed for notation in the final surgical pathology report.


Primary: • Rate of pathologic-radiologic correlation in surgical pathology reports of breast biopsies

Secondary: • Rate of pathologic-radiologic correlation of specific radiographic lesions (calcifications, mass, multiple lesions, etc.) in surgical pathology reports

• Rate of breast specimens received with specific radiographic abnormality noted on the requisition slip

Objective Determine the rate of blood culture contamination using standardized criteria for classifying contaminants.

Data CollectionOn a monthly basis, participants will tabulate the total number of blood cultures processed and the total number of contaminated blood cultures. For the purposes of this study, participants will consider a blood culture to be contaminated if one or more of the following organisms are found in only one of a series of blood culture specimens:Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus; Micrococcus; Alpha-hemolytic (viridans) Streptococci; Propionibacterium acnes;Corynebacterium sp. (diptheroids); or Bacillus sp. Optional institution-specific subgroups may be used to track parameters that may affect contamination rates. Neonatal totals are tabulated separately from other blood cultures.

Performance Indicators • Overall Contamination Rate (%) • Neonatal Contamination Rate (%) • Other Contamination Rate (%)

Objective Assess the incidence of wristband errors within individual institutions, compare performance between participating institutions,and identify improvement opportunities.

Data CollectionOn six predetermined days per month, participants will monitor patient wristband identification for all phlebotomies performedat their institution. Phlebotomists will tally the total number of wristbands checked, the number of errors found, and the types ofwristband error. This monitor includes all routinely wristbanded patients. (Emergency department patients are included only if theemergency department routinely applies wristbands to these patients.)

Performance Indicator Performance Breakdown • Wristband Error Rate (%) • Breakdown of Wristband Error Types (%)

Q-TRACKS Clinical Pathology Monitors

The proper identification of a patient is vital to reporting accurate laboratory results and meeting The Joint Commission NationalPatient Safety Goal #1: “Improve the accuracy of patient identification.” Since the majority of testing is performed away fromthe patient, patient identification, labeling of specimens, and coordination with test requisitions must be conducted accuratelyand completely. By continuously monitoring for wristband errors, participants can promptly identify and correct problems thatmay interfere with patient care services.

Patient Identification Accuracy QT1

Despite advancements in blood culture practices and technology, false-positive blood culture results due to contaminants continue to be a critical problem. Blood culture contamination rate is associated with increased length of hospital stay, additionalexpense, and the administration of unnecessary antibiotics and is the primary indicator of preanalytical performance in microbiology. The CAP and other accrediting organizations require you to monitor and evaluate key indicators of quality for improvement opportunities. Use this monitor to help you meet this requirement.

Blood Culture Contamination QT2

Input forms for quarterly data collection will be sent to participants approximately three weeks prior to the quarter.

Q-TRACKS



Critical values in the laboratory are defined as results requiring immediate notification to the physician or caregiver for necessary patient evaluation or treatment. While critical value notification has been a routine practice in laboratory medicine formany years, recent regulations from agencies and accreditors such as CMS, The Joint Commission, and the CAP (GEN.20316,20365, 41320) have mandated that laboratories develop and implement an alert system for critical values. Use this monitor todocument compliance with your laboratory’s alert plan.

Critical Values Reporting QT10

Objective Evaluate the documentation of successful critical values reporting in the general laboratory for both inpatients and outpatientsaccording to the laboratory’s policy.

Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will evaluate 120 inpatient and 120 outpatient critical values for the designated sections. Data collection will include general chemistry, hematology, and coagulation analytes on the critical values list. Retrospectively,participants will record the total number of critical values monitored and if there was documentation of notification. This monitorwill exclude critical values for microbiology, cardiac markers, drugs of abuse, therapeutic drug levels, urinalysis, blood gases,point of care tests, tests performed at reference laboratories, and critical values on discharged patients.

Performance Indicators • Total Critical Values Reporting Rate (%)• Inpatient Critical Values Reporting Rate (%)• Outpatient Critical Values Reporting Rate (%)

The swiftness with which physicians establish diagnoses of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with chest pain may determine the type and predict the outcomes of therapy those patients will receive. Included in the total time consumed in establishing diagnoses of AMI are the component intervals required to measurebiochemical markers of myocardial injury, one of the most critical of which is troponin. Help meet CAP checklist questionGEN.20316 with this monitor.

Turnaround Time of Troponin QT15

Objective Determine the median order-to-report turnaround time (TAT) of troponin (I or T) and the percent of troponin results reported byeach institution’s established deadline.

Data Collection Participants will record the TATs (in minutes) for three randomly selected troponin specimens obtained from patients seen in EDson each of three traditional shifts (total of nine measurements) on six pre-determined days per month. TATs will be measuredfrom the times the tests are ordered to the times that results are made available to ED personnel. Participants will also have theoption of monitoring collection-to-receipt intervals.

Performance Indicators • Median Troponin Order-to-Report TAT (minutes)• Troponin TAT Compliance Rate (%)

This Q-TRACKS monitor was developed in recognition of the importance of timely detection and correction of erroneous laboratory results. Accuracy in laboratory results is critical to the effectiveness of a physician’s plan of care for a patient. An erroneous result can delay or alter patient treatment; therefore, detection of erroneous results should be a priority in every laboratory and should be monitored as a key quality indicator. Help measure your compliance with CLIA 493.1299, Postanalytic Systems Quality Assessment, with this monitor.

Corrected Results QT16

Objective Monitor the number of corrected test results within individual institutions and compare performance with that of all institutionsand those institutions similar to yours.

Data Collection On a monthly basis, participants will monitor the number of corrected test results and the total number of billable tests for thatmonth. Test results for all patients in all care settings will be included, with the following exclusions: anatomic pathology tests, narrative physician-interpreted tests (ie, bone marrow biopsies and peripheral smear reports), and point of care tests.

Performance Indicator • Test Result Correction Rate (per 10,000 billable tests)

Order accuracy bears an obvious relationship to the quality of laboratory testing. When the laboratory fails to complete a requested test, the diagnostic evaluation is delayed, potentially extending a patient’s hospital stay and prolonging therapy.When the laboratory completes a test that was not requested, the cost of care increases, patients may be subjected to unnecessary phlebotomy, and laboratory efficiency declines.

Outpatient Order Entry Errors QT17

Objective Measure the incidence of incorrectly interpreted and entered outpatient physician test orders into the laboratory computer, compare performance across institutions, and track performance over time.

Data Collection On six pre-selected weekdays per month, eight outpatient requisitions or order sheets will be compared to the orders enteredinto the laboratory’s information system to determine if any order entry errors occurred. Order entry error categories include requesting physician error, incorrect, missing, and extra test errors, test priority errors, and non-routine routing request errors.Tests performed in transfusion medicine/blood bank or anatomic pathology are excluded.

Reference Range Service RRS

The Reference Range Service is designed to help laboratories establish and/or verify reference intervals. Data collection andanalysis follows recommendations specified in the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) document, Defining,Establishing, and Verifying Reference Intervals in the Clinical Laboratory Approved Guideline—Third Edition (C28-A3).Laboratories will be required to submit 20 results from “normal/healthy” individuals for each analyte with information on thesex, age, and race/ethnic background of each donor. Exclusionary criteria will be provided to facilitate identification ofappropriate donors.

Participants may submit donor results between February and November. The final deadline to return donor results to theCAP will be December 1, 2010. Participant reports will be generated in June and December.

The following tables display the current platforms available for establishing or verifying reference intervals.

www.cap.org 271

CMS Reporting� The College of American Pathologists is required to submit proficiency testing (PT) results to the Centers for Medicareand Medicaid Services (CMS) for all laboratories providing a CLIA identification number.

� Your reporting preferences are outlined on the CMS Analyte Reporting Selections document, which is available onlinein e-LAB Solutions.

� If a laboratory does not notify CAP in advance that they have discontinued testing of a regulated analyte, a score ofzero will be given.

� To avoid any penalties, analytes listed on this report for which you do not perform testing must be noted to ensureappropriate reporting in the future.

PT ReferralProficiency testing referral has come under greater scrutiny from inspectors for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services(CMS). The CAP’s PT Program reminds participants that per CLIA ’88, laboratories must test the PT specimens it receives in thesame manner as it tests patient specimens—specimens must be tested with the laboratory’s regular workload, using thelaboratory’s routine methods, and the same number of times it routinely tests patient specimens. However, laboratories must notcommunicate results, share proficiency testing specimens, or refer proficiency testing specimens to a laboratory with adifferent CLIA number for tests not on the laboratory’s menu even if the referral for testing is routinely performed for patientspecimens.

Special RequirementsDiscuss any special shipping requirements or updates with the CAP Customer Contact Center staff.

All requests for special shipping arrangements must be received at the CAP a minimum of six weeks prior to the stated productship date.

Product StabilitySome products have limited stability and may be difficult to transport to some locations. These products include the following:

Please note that replacements will not be available for products with limited stability. Survey materials that are liquid are shippedwith frozen cold packs or dry ice and need to be kept cold as much as possible. If transportation to your location does not allowfor these conditions to be met, replacements will not be available.

If the CAP accredits your international laboratory, please review options for addressing issues with material instability with the CAPLaboratory Accreditation Program staff.

Customers shall be liable for all costs and expenses related to the return of shipments to the CAP or its designated packagers, if thereason for such return is late product cancellation, shipment refusal, or invalid ship-to address.

Dry IceSome shipments are packed on dry ice to maintain product stability. Dry ice shipments are shipped as UN1845 dangerous goodsshipment. Due to sublimation, there may not be any dry ice present when you open your kit. This is not an indication that theproduct has been compromised. If your country does not allow dry ice shipments, your Surveys will be packaged with cool packsthat may not be as effective in maintaining a cool environment. Upon receipt, follow the kit storage instructions as soon as possible.
