Pathology Laboratory and Medicine Service

Pathology Laboratory and Medicine Services play a critical role in disease diagnosis and treatment of patients. Since Labs are a vital element in supporting the healthcare delivery, they are required to comply with regulatory standards and demonstrate a commitment to quality. Some of the necessary standards listed for laboratories include CLIA, The Joint Commission, CLSI, AABB, ISO 15189:2007, ISO/IEC 17025, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR Parts 600 and 11 along with the accreditation requirements of CAP (College of American Pathologists), OSHA. In order to conform to these regulations, the Labs must overcome the following key challenges:

• Disconnected and separate quality processes for each section
• Keeping documents, policies and procedures up to date
• Prompt and efficient issue management and analysis
• Regular laboratory staff training and appraisals for continuous improvement
• Incomplete staff training and competency records
• Effective planning for internal audits and self inspections
• Coordinated reporting of “out of compliance” events and non-conformities
• Complete tracking of corrective and preventive actions and event root cause analysis
