1 Risk Management: Why It Is Part of ISO and How It Relates to CLIA's IQCP Megan Staudenmaier A2LA Accreditation Officer II
2 Key Learning Objectives Learn what risk management is and what it encompasses Learn what ISO requires concerning risk management Learn what IQCP entails and why risk management is so important to IQCP
3 Background - IQCP Announced with Survey & Cert New quality control option based on risk management Replaces EQC Transition period 01/01/14-01/01/16
4 What is Risk Management? Need to understand risk first The effect of uncertainty on objectives (ISO 31000:2009) How you monitor, assess, and treat risk Organization-wide effort
5 Important Terms to Know Risk Assessment: Overall process of risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation Risk Analysis: Process to comprehend the nature of risk and to determine the level of risk Risk Criteria: Terms of reference against which the significance of risk is evaluated Risk Evaluation: Process of comparing results of risk analysis with risk criteria to determine whether the risk is acceptable or tolerable Residual Risk: Risk remaining after risk treatment
6 Why is Risk Management Important? Ethical duty Potential consequences Improve operational efficiency Confidence in results (staff and public) Required activity for ISO/IEC and for IQCP in CLIA
7 Risk Management in ISO Section : Risk management The laboratory shall evaluate the impact of work processes and potential failures on examination results as they affect patient safety, and shall modify processes to reduce or eliminate the identified risks and document decisions and actions taken.
8 Significance of Section Multi-faceted Internal Audit Management Review Core component of management system Needs to be done routinely, not as a onetime event
9 Risk Management in ISO Section 4.12: Continual Improvement Improvement activities shall be directed at areas of highest priority based on risk assessments.
10 How Can You Maintain Continual Improvement? Feed back into Internal Audit and Management Review Preventative/Corrective Actions
11 Risk Management in ISO Section 4.13: Control of records Records shall include, at least, the following: n) risk management records
12 Risk Management in ISO Section : Review Input The input to management review shall include information from the results of evaluations of at least the following: e) risk management
13 Management Reviews Conducted by top management Gives opportunity to look at the bigger picture Ensures risk management is incorporated throughout the entire organization and allows trends in risk to be analyzed
14 Risk Management in ISO Section : Quality control materials Quality control materials shall be periodically examined with a frequency that is based on the stability of the procedure and the risk of harm to the patient from an erroneous result.
15 Why is Risk Management Important in IQCP? IQCP is risk management Assessing risk to determine individual QC frequency requirements (RA) Treating/controlling that risk (QCP) Monitoring your risk (QA)
16 A Closer Look at IQCP: Risk Assessment Identifying, analyzing, and evaluating potential sources of risk/error Must include at least five components: Specimen Test System Reagent Environment Testing Personnel Should include entire testing process (preanalytic, analytic, postanalytic)
17 Methods of Risk Identification Process Mapping Breaking down all steps in testing process Fishbone Diagram Cause and effect associated with different aspects of the testing process Risk Identification Table Lists possible risks in element v. testing phase table
18 A Closer Look at IQCP: Quality Control Plan Methods of reducing your risk Creation can be delegated, but must be approved, signed, and dated by laboratory director Cannot be less stringent then manufacturer procedures Must allow for immediate detection of errors
19 A Closer Look at IQCP: Quality Control Plan Plan must include number, type, frequency, and acceptance criteria Possible practices to include: Internal/External Controls Training/Continuing Education Proficiency Testing Calibration/Verification
20 A Closer Look at IQCP: Quality Assessment Monitoring potential risk and how well your QCP is working Should include monitoring of all aspects required by RA and all parts of QCP Have written QA plan that includes a schedule
21 A Closer Look at IQCP: Quality Assessment Possible ways to monitor: Review of internal records PT results, CARs, QC results, etc. May need to consider doing another RA and updating QCP depending on results of quality assessment
22 A2LA s IQCP Requirements Plan must be provided with application Must complete checklist C622 Must comply with S&C: CLIA
23 What to Expect During Your Assessment Assessors will Interview key IQCP staff Review the IQCP Plan Review IQCP evaluation records Ensure risk is being monitored Review training records Will also want to see risk management incorporated into other aspects of the lab (internal audit, management review, etc.)
24 How to Ensure Risk Management Works for You Incorporate risk management objectives into the organizational objectives get top management committed Write a risk management policy into your quality system Assign risk management responsibilities Set risk management performance indicators Ensure it is a continuous process Train your staff
