As the demand for more rapid testing continues, the laboratory must take a proactive stance in needs assessment and program implementation to meet quality patient care guidelines and regulations for ancillary testing. This 256-bed hospital had a very conventional ancillary testing history. The deficiencies identified in the program by inspection criteria and the concerns of the medical staff created a focus for a laboratory/nursing/medical staff quality improvement team. The Ancillary Glucose Testing Program redeveloped by the team offers a model for active needs assessment, participation, quality assurance, ongoing improvement, and laboratory/nursing cooperation that can be applied to any ancillary testing program. |
