Variants, vaccines, predictions: Compass on COVID

February 2021—Variants and vaccines were in the news when Compass Group members spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle for the first time in the new year, on Jan. 5. “This is something we all need to stay close to,” Julie Hess, of AdventHealth, said of the variants. “We need to know if it’s going to impact our ability to detect.” With McGonnagle and Hess on the Jan. 5 call were Dwayne Breining, MD, and James Crawford, MD, PhD, Northwell; John Waugh, MS, MT(ASCP), Henry Ford; Stan Schofield, MaineHealth; Gregory Sossaman, MD, Ochsner; Peter Dysert, MD, Baylor Scott & White; Steven Carroll, MD, PhD, Medical University of South Carolina; Heather Dawson, Allina; Janet Durham, MD, ACL; Daniel Ingemansen, Sanford Health; Ericka Olgaard, DO, MBA, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences; Sterling Bennett, MD, MS, Intermountain; and Judy Lyzak, MD, MBA, Alverno.

CAP TODAY Roundtable: AP computer system— ‘Look at value versus cost’

February 2021—What is the one most important thing to look for in an anatomic pathology computer system? That is one of several questions CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle put to five people in a Dec. 14 call on the AP LIS and more—surgical pathology volumes amid COVID-19, data integration, practice consolidation.

Solving problems, restricting orders: Compass on COVID

December 2020—The Compass Group reconvenes to share the latest on SARS-CoV-2 testing—this time on Oct. 6 and again by Zoom. What they said about supplies, labor, and flu follows. Serology testing too: “It’s the one test we have loads of and the one test they don’t use a lot of,” said Heather Dawson of Allina Health in Minneapolis. CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle led the roundtable. With Dawson were Walter Henricks, MD, of Cleveland Clinic; Jennifer Laudadio, MD, of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences; Joseph Baker of Baylor Scott & White; Judy Lyzak, MD, MBA, of Alverno; Susan Fuhrman, MD, of OhioHealth; Dan Ingemansen and Rochelle Odenbrett, MT(ASCP), MBA, of Sanford Health; Janet Durham, MD, of ACL Laboratories; Diana Kremitske, MS, MHA, MT(ASCP), of Geisinger; Darlene Cloutier, MSM, MT(ASCP), HP, of Baystate; Stan Schofield of NorDx; Clark Day of Indiana University Health; Tylis Chang, MD, of Northwell; and John Waugh, MS, MT(ASCP), of Henry Ford. The Compass Group is an organization of not-for-profit IDN system lab leaders who collaborate to identify and share best practices and strategies.

Compass on COVID: What test for whom and when—lab leaders talk

November 2020—Testing saliva, stocking up, and expanding capacity were top of mind when members of the Compass Group convened by Zoom on Sept. 1 for a second COVID-19-related call with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle. Antigen testing, too, came up, and the question to answer there, said Susan Fuhrman, MD, of OhioHealth, is why the test is performed and what will be done with the result. That and more—testing for patients undergoing treatment for cancer, flu season—were up for discussion. Others on the call were Greg Sossaman, MD, of Ochsner; Lauren Anthony, MD, and Heather Dawson of Allina; Sarah Province and Julie Hess of AdventHealth; James Crawford, MD, PhD, of Northwell; Stan Schofield and Robert Carlson, MD, of MaineHealth; Sterling Bennett, MD, MS, of Intermountain; John Carey, MD, of Henry Ford; and Pamela Murphy, PhD, APRN, of MUSC Health. The Compass Group is an organization of not-for-profit IDN system lab leaders who collaborate to identify and share best practices and strategies. (For our coverage of their first call with CAP TODAY, see “Compass points chart the pandemic,” September 2020.) Here is what they told us on Sept. 1.

 

Compass points chart the pandemic

September 2020—Between a rock and a hard place. Trying to stay ahead, trying to build inventory. Chasing multiple new testing requests. Anticipating influenza. That’s where laboratory leaders said their labs were in early August when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle convened members of the Compass Group on Zoom to share their pandemic experiences. They shared surprise, too, that the situation is what it is: “Not a clue in my mind that this would go past the springtime,” said Stan Schofield, president of NorDx and senior VP, MaineHealth. McGonnagle asked them about the diversion of supplies, the coming flu season, IT support, lessons and long-term changes, and more.

AI roundtable: hopes, hurdles, hype vs. reality

Michael Becich, MD, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and five others spoke with CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle in March about the hype versus reality of artificial intelligence and the tension around it. Here is what they had to say.

LIS roundtable: The conversation continues—consolidation, IT labor force

December 2019—IT as it relates to laboratory consolidation and the labor supply for lab IT were some of what came up when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle convened a panel in September to talk about laboratory information systems. Part one of the discussion is in the November issue (with the LIS product guide); part two begins here. On the panel were J. Mark Tuthill, MD, of Henry Ford Health System, Curt Johnson of Orchard Software, Wally Soufi of NovoPath, Michelle Del Guercio of Sunquest Information Systems, Nick Trentadue of Epic, Sepehr Seyedzadeh of Siemens Healthineers, and Tony Barresi of Beckman Coulter.

POC testing roundtable: risks, resources, relationships

March 2019—Infection control and the heavy demands on point-of-care coordinators were among the top concerns that came up in a recent CAP TODAY roundtable on point-of-care glucose testing. Publisher Bob McGonnagle spoke with four POC testing experts: Sharon Geaghan, MD, Cynthia Bowman, MD, Steven Cotten, PhD, and Corinne Fantz, PhD. Here is what they told us.

Hematology roundtable: rules, reference ranges, POC testing

November 2018—Reference intervals, point-of-care testing, the use of rules for efficiency, and the display of results in patient records. That and more is what a panel of experts weighed in on when CAP TODAY publisher Bob McGonnagle assembled them in September to talk about hematology instrumentation. What they told us follows.
