1 PT/EQA for the Total Laboratory Testing Cycle: Focus on Pre-Examination Michael A Noble MD FRCPC Clinical Microbiology Proficiency Testing University of British Columbia Vancouver BC Canada
2 The North America history of PT In the laboratorians in Philadelphia were concerned because it had become conventional for clinicians to collect patient samples and send them to multiple laboratories for testing. The results from the collective group would be compared and analyzed for interpretation Sunderman Sr. and others devised a battery of chemistry samples to determine the Quality of laboratory testing LabQuality Days
3 The Results were NOT encouraging Assays ranged between ± per cent of target values. Inter-laboratory and Intra-laboratory duplication were highly unreliable BELK WP, SUNDERMAN FW. A survey of the accuracy of chemical analyses in clinical laboratories. Am J Clin Pathol. Nov;17(11): LabQuality Days
4 This study lead to Positive Change State wide Proficiency Testing as a measure of interlaboratory analytic chemistry Quality College of American Pathologists develop Multiple Discipline Proficiency Testing National Regulation: US Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) LabQuality Days
5 But there is a downside As ground breaking as CLIA became, it can also be viewed as resulting in a narrow and limited perspective of Proficiency Testing SOLELY FOR REGULATORY PURPOSES --- CLIA is INDIFFERENT to Proficiency Testing as an Internal Quality Measure Proficiency Testing as an Education Measure LabQuality Days
6 And there is an additional problem CLIA specifies the requirements for regulatory based proficiency testing but includes only the examination activities of laboratory testing. LabQuality Days
7 Meanwhile, in Europe Another model of Quality Assessment was being developed, similar to Proficiency Testing but different. External Quality Assessment LabQuality Days
8 The TWO MODELS Approach Proficiency Testing Regulatory Tool to assist Accreditation and Regulatory Authorities Internal Quality Monitor through required (Root Cause Analysis) No incentive for change until the underlying regulatory base changes External Quality Assessment Regulatory Tool to assist Accreditation and Regulatory Authorities Internal Quality Monitor through required (Root Cause Analysis) Provider of Educational Materials for Quality Improvement No inhibition to flexibility and change LabQuality Days

10 Medical Laboratory Total Testing Cycle Pre-Exam Collection Pre-Pre Examination Test Ordering Patient Post-Post Examination Result Interpretation Pre-Exam Transport Sample Examination Post-Examination Report LabQuality Days
11 Medical Laboratory CLIA Required PT 0% 0% Pre-Exam Collection Pre-Pre Examination Test Ordering Patient Post-Post Examination Result Interpretation Pre-Exam Transport Sample Examination 100% Post-Examination Report LabQuality Days
12 80% Medical Laboratory Errors Total Testing Cycle 15% Pre-Exam Collection Pre-Pre Examination Test Ordering Patient Post-Post Examination Result Interpretation Pre-Exam Transport Sample Examination 5% Post-Examination Report LabQuality Days
13 If it makes sense here I rob banks because that's where the money is. Willie Sutton Famous American Bank Robber LabQuality Days
14 How about here? We should be EQA-challenging medical laboratories in the Pre and Post Examination Phases because that's where the errors are. LabQuality Days
15 What do Laboratories think about EQA Beyond the Examination Phase? Clinical Microbiology Proficiency Testing Electronic survey Responses from all CMPT provinces across Canada October Percent response LabQuality Days
16 How important is it that Proficiency Testing programs challenge laboratories on issues such as Pre-examination, Laboratory Safety, Quality Management, and Post-examination phase? Weighted Average 86.4% LabQuality Days
17 How Many EQA Programs Provide Pre-Examination Challenges? EQALM Microbiology Working Group Electronic survey Wide international distribution of programs November Percent response LabQuality Days
18 39.1% LabQuality Days
19 Can We Interpret these two Results? Two small samples, different geographic areas All are focused on Microbiology laboratories The laboratories are ahead of the EQA programs in seeing importance in Pre- Examination EQA, but 40 Percent of EQA programs providing Pre- Examination EQA indicates that EQALM members programs are very aware of the opportunities and value. LabQuality Days
20 Potentially Addressable Areas of Concern Should the samples be rejected if they are Leaking? Appropriate and sufficient patient identifiers? Improper/inadequate clinical information? Inappropriate transport? Excessive delay? Patient related but not patient direct Food Home Environment Pet Cultures Regionally different policies may complicate grading for challenges that are sent to multiple geographies. LabQuality Days
21 CMPT Paper Challenge Program Process Advisory Committee selects: Topic Text Choices Best/Preferred Responses Unacceptable Responses Challenge questions are sent out at the same time as regular sample challenges. Deadline for response is 14 days (way too long!!!) Grading is based solely on response, but laboratory complexity may be taken into consideration. Informative Critique is written Appeals are accepted and reviewed. LabQuality Days
22 Example 1 PC134 February 2014 Your laboratory accessioning bench received a set of 2 blood culture bottles (2 aerobic bottles) collected from an 87 year old male. On observation, both bottles appeared to contain a scant amount of blood. Phlebotomist record indicates the total volume of blood collected from the patient was 2 ml, of which 1 ml was dispensed in each blood culture bottle. The phlebotomist described the patient to be very ill with fragile veins and recollection would be very difficult. LabQuality Days
23 Example 1 PC134(continued) February 2014 Which option that best describes your laboratory protocol? A. Culture the two vials in the blood culture analyzer for up to 5 days B. Culture the two vials in the blood culture analyzer for up to 5 days but flag (record) the vials as inadequate collection volumes. C. Reject the two vials as insufficient volumes and unacceptable for culture. D. Immediately forward/refer the two vials to a facility capable of performing advanced direct testing, such as MALDI TOF MS. E. Sample not applicable to or not normally processed by our laboratory LabQuality Days
24 Example 1 PC134(continued) February 2014 Committee considerations Blood cultures are critical tests that must be collected and performed optimally to provide optimal information. Adding inadequate blood volume is problematic, but does occur especially in elder patients because of inadequate veins and low blood pressure Clinician needs to be aware that blood volume inadequacy may result in falsely negative results. LabQuality Days
25 Example 1 PC134(continued) February 2014 Committee Grading A. - 1 of 4 Can not interpret negative result B. - 4 of 4 Most informative choice C. - 0 of 4 Refusal to culture is inappropriate D. - 1 of 4 Referral in unhelpful. Statement is nonsense E. - Ungraded LabQuality Days
26 Example 1 PC134(continued) February 2014 Reported Results LabQuality Days
27 Example 2 PC132 August 2013 A physician sends a requisition along with a throat culture swab to the laboratory. The requisition includes the patient's name, Thomas James Smith, date of birth and healthcare number. The only information written (handwritten) on the throat culture swab only TJ Smith. How would you proceed? LabQuality Days
28 Example 2 PC132(continued) August 2013 A. Phone the physician office and request recollection of the throat culture swab B. Reject the throat culture swab C. Phone the physician office and request relabeling of the throat culture swab D. Process the throat culture swab with the requisition E. Sample not applicable to the laboratory or not normally processed in the laboratory LabQuality Days
29 Example 2 PC132(continued) August 2013 Committee considerations Throat swabs are rarely critical samples. They are samples that can be recollected, usually without undue inconvenience. Sample identifiers are critical to ensure that the sample and the requisition match. Delaying processing the sample by sending it back to a physician office or waiting for re-labelling can result in overgrowth and wrong results. LabQuality Days
30 Example 2 PC132(continued) August 2013 Committee Grading A 4 of 4 Require recollect. Appropriate and acceptable B 4 of 4 Reject and discard. Appropriate and acceptable C 1 of 4 Request relabel. High inconvenience with little benefit D 0 of 4 Process as is. E Ungraded Unacceptable risk for error LabQuality Days
31 Example 2 PC132(continued) August 2013 LabQuality Days
32 Example 2 PC132(continued) August 2013 An appeal was raised because the history should have differentiated whether the story referred to an outpatient setting or a hospitalized patient. Practice with respect to requiring a physician to come to the laboratory and confirm the sample identity would be done for a hospitalized patient. Appeal was rejected. LabQuality Days

36 An Example of one Graphic Prototype we are developing LabQuality Days
37 In Summary The laboratory world has changed and it is appropriate to extend PT/EQA to cover a broader view of the total laboratory testing cycle, including pre-examination and post-examination issues. Approaches may be less technical but can be monitored and measured in a consistent approach. Our experience is that performance is aligned with laboratory complexity, however, laboratory improvement can be measured. Over time Paper Challenge scores progressively improve LabQuality Days
38 In Conclusion EQA can and should cover the whole laboratory cycle for better Quality and better Care LabQuality Days
