Risk Management Workshop 2006
Risks to Patients Created by Laboratory Testing Errors - This presentation demonstrates how the application of the tools risk management can help answer questions related to patient safety, while assisting in reducing laboratory testing errors.
Current Risk Management and the Medical Laboratory – This presentation describes the benefits of active internal audit, quality indicator, corrective action, preventive action, and “opportunity for improvement” programs to better position laboratories to be more risk aware. Examples of formal risk management procedures are considered.
An Industry–Laboratory Partnership to Minimize Patient Risks: Extending the ISO risk management process to the clinical laboratory – This presentation explains the systematic risk management approach and explore how a clinical laboratory might implement a risk management program based on ISO 14971. In an ideal world, a clinical laboratory would leverage and complement the risk management processes of suppliers of in vitro diagnostic systems to foster patient safety.
Risk Management Toolbox: Risk assessment techniques for clinical laboratory processes - The major objective of this presentation is to supply a good understanding of the available risk management tools, strengths, weaknesses, and overview of their use.
Process Mapping and FMEA for Improved Patient Safety- A Case Study - In this case study, Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is applied to a process flowchart of an automated laboratory analyzer. This case study will illustrate the use of FMEA by providing an overview of a process flowchart for an automated laboratory analyzer; showing an example of combination of FMEA and process mapping tools; and, describing how FMEA can be used in conjunction with a process flowchart to reduce error and harm.
Utilizing Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) to Examine the Processes of Patient Identification and Specimen Labeling - A Case Study – This case study describes the FMEA process is and what it is designed to accomplish, how a multidisciplinary team examined a complex process and how systems were designed to minimize risk and ensure patient safety. Measures of effectiveness and conformance, outcome data, and lessons learned from this project are also included.
Alternative Quality Control Update - This session provides an update on current activities related to the quest for alternative quality control solutions.
