1 Going Beyond Laboratory Automation: Do Less Accomplish More Susan Dawson, MBA, MT(ASCP) Swedish Covenant Hospital Chicago, IL Swedish Covenant Hospital Open Heart Oncology Birthing Unit Community Outreach Program 325 Beds 15,000 admissions / year 46,000 ER visits / year Culturally diverse patient population Employees speak 40 different languages 1

5 Employee Demographics Techs range in age from Most over 45. Longevity - worked at the lab for over 15 years Most attended college when they were still typing on typewriters First computers used were at work Retention rate is good Pay rate is 65% of top pay in the area Work Statistics Solucient benchmarking 7.4% ranking in labor expense 85% in BT/FTE 11.5% in total expense/100 BT 5

10 Post- Analytical Processes Autovalidation Single largest contributor to relieving stress and improving consistency, quality and turnaround time. If a tech would/should take an action on the result, then it should not be autovalidated. 10
11 Quality Control Stops patient results from being reported for an assay that has failed QC Stop results from autovalidating if QC has not been run in the past xx hours Review Ranges Don t stop every abnormal Actionable result Hemolysis comment automatically generated Critical values 11
12 Delta Checks and Instrument Flags Delta checks Clinically useful Not for every assay Instrument flags Translate important information (linear limit, clots) Autovalidation: Rules and Effect QC Review ranges Delta checks Instrument flags LIS Reviewed by tech Quality Labor 12
