ABSTRACT
Background:ISO 15189 will equip traineeswith effective auditing techniques and will increase understandingof audit methodologies. Trying to improve the quality of training that will be given underNABL ISO 15189. Material And Methods:The study was done forimproving the training of internal audit. Participants who have already taken training were asked to fill questionnaire in the google form regarding the cost effectiveness, mode of training, material of reference,No. of days of training, frequency at which training should be conducted and mock audit. For each question we had given certain option which will be chosen by earlier participants. For each question % of the answers are calculated individually to analyses whether the training is up to mark or has to be improved.Result:The results obtained are as follow s, for the cost of training to be 58.1% answered it to be five thousand. For the no of days maximum people gave the answer as 3 days. For mode of training results obtained was 80.23% offline.60.46% of trainees wanted weekdays as the days to be included for training session.60.4% of participants wanted power point presentation as the method for training to be conducted. Once in year was selected by 40.6% of trainees for how frequently the training should be conducted. All the participants have answered for the mock audit to be conducted.Conclusion:Most of them seem satisfactory with the training. Many of them suggested we have small break sessions during training. Live training sessions was also suggested as it could be more interactive.
ABSTRACT
Background:Overfilled and under filled tube are most important cause of pre-analytical error and failure to complete requested examination in sample. The study was performed to analyse relationship betweentime of receiving of sample, location of sample, type of vacuum tube, method of collection, total volume required in a patient and volume incompleteness.Material And Methods:The study involved collection and patient samples data, i.e. receiving time of sample, place of collection, type of vacuum tube, blood collection method, total volume required in a patient, measurement of volume before processing. Average incompleteness of vacuum tube was calculated and average relationship between incompleteness and these parameters done.Result:Average incompleteness in OPD samples is better than Non-OPD samples. Averageincompleteness is better during 9 am to 12 am than early morning hour s. Incompleteness with relation to vacuum tube type is in general Plain > (EDTA/Fluoride) > Citrate. Average incompleteness better in sample collected with vacuum tube needle with holder than use of syringe. Average incompleteness increases as total volume required in a patient increases.Conclusion:Dedicated phlebotomist and use of vacuum tube needle with holder is required to bring overall improvement in completeness of blood collection.
