[Hemostasis task descriptive file meeting the standard NF EN ISO 15 189 requirements]. / Fiche de poste hémostase répondant aux exigences de la norme NF EN ISO 15 189.

This work is a presentation of an hemostasis task descriptive file in regard with the requirements of the standard NF EN ISO 15189. The chosen method is based on the Deming wheel, that is to say: 1) Forward planning, done by the quality department of the work organization. 2) Drafting of a task descriptive file of the laboratory technician (working hours, equipments, done analysis, three levels of qualification, recurrent tasks, periodic hours, occasional hours, reference document). Creation of the hemostasis descriptive task file, by the position referents, according to the previous pattern, validation and enforcement in regard with the links to the associated documents. 3) Making-up based on the newly-trained technicians' comments, and on the listed dysfunctions. 4) Adjustment according to the listed anomalies. The main difficulties were, for some people, an opposition to modifications and a sensation of uselessness to formalize the daily tasks already done by a qualified and experienced staff. However, the pertinence of this process has been accepted by the majority. To conclude, the reorganization and the near finalization of the task descriptive file will not only enable the improvement of the work and the strategy processes, but also the identification and the formalization of the time devoted to quality.

EC4 European Syllabus for Post-Graduate Training in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine: version 3 - 2005.

The EC4 Syllabus for Postgraduate Training is the basis for the European Register of Specialists in Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine. The syllabus: Indicates the level of requirements in postgraduate training to harmonise the postgraduate education in the European Union (EU); Indicates the level of content of national training programmes to obtain adequate knowledge and experience; Is approved by all EU societies for clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. The syllabus is not primarily meant to be a training guide, but on the basis of the overview given (common minimal programme), national societies should formulate programmes that indicate where knowledge and experience is needed. The main points of this programme are: Indicates the level of requirements in postgraduate training to harmonise the postgraduate education in the European Union (EU); Indicates the level of content of national training programmes to obtain adequate knowledge and experience; Is approved by all EU societies for clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. Knowledge in biochemistry, haematology, immunology, etc.; Pre-analytical conditions; Evaluation of results; Interpretations (post-analytical phase); Laboratory management; and Quality insurance management. The aim of this version of the syllabus is to be in accordance with the Directive of Professional Qualifications published on 30 September 2005. To prepare the common platforms planned in this directive, the disciplines are divided into four categories: Indicates the level of requirements in postgraduate training to harmonise the postgraduate education in the European Union (EU); Indicates the level of content of national training programmes to obtain adequate knowledge and experience; Is approved by all EU societies for clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine. Knowledge in biochemistry, haematology, immunology, etc.; Pre-analytical conditions; Evaluation of results; Interpretations (post-analytical phase); Laboratory management; and Quality insurance management. General chemistry, encompassing biochemistry, endocrinology, chemical (humoral), immunology, toxicology, and therapeutic drug monitoring; Haematology, covering cells, transfusion serology, coagulation, and cellular immunology; Microbiology, involving bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and mycology; Genetics and IVF.
