| 02-QP15 Type and Screen Completion for Scheduled Surgical Procedures |
| Objective: |
Ideally, patient blood samples for
intended transfusions are collected early enough to allow for a complete
blood type and screen (T & S) for non-ABO RBC antibodies. Early identification
allows for adequate blood product inventory prior to the time of need, which
is increasingly important as blood product availability becomes a greater
issue. This monitor assists institutions with QI plans such as those that
are required for accreditation in the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program
and the AABB's standards for blood bank and transfusion services. |

| 02-QP16 Routine Outpatient Test Turnaround Time |
| Objective: |
As laboratories compete for
customers, satisfaction with outpatient laboratory services is becoming
increasingly important. Efficient turnaround time of routine outpatient
tests can improve patient care and customer satisfaction. Additionally,
a laboratory's ability to monitor outpatient turnaround time can prove
to be important to managed care organizations. |
