October 2015—The advantages of molecular respiratory viral panelsare accompanied by a challenge for laboratories that find it difficult to secure payment for testing that can cost hundreds of dollars, depending on the number of pathogens involved.
October 2015—To improve blood usage in 2011, Advocate Health Care in Illinois launched a systemwide blood management program, “7 is the new 10.” Within two years of its implementation, there was a notable decrease in annual red cell usage from 64,178 to 41,000 red cell units, with overall savings of $10 million.
October 2015—It may not be quite like boxing frogs or herding cats. But gaining broad consensus on a laboratory medicine practice can be difficult, especially where multiple organizations must agree. A new joint statement on RHD genotyping by the CAP and the AABB, plus four other organizations, shows that such consensus is possible, however, even where it involves a laboratory medicine practice in place for more than 50 years—especially when advances in molecular testing are offering a solution to a problem.
October 2015—As hospitals are brought under single health systems, laboratory leaders are faced with the task of ensuring that their clinical lab results are comparable among various sites and instruments. But some have had more opportunity than most to investigate the mischief afforded by variations in instruments, reagents, and more.
October 2015—No one plans to screw up.Take the worker carrying out maintenance duties at a Damascus, Ark., U.S. Air Force base one evening in 1980. Surely the only thing on his mind was doing a decent job and going home. Unfortunately, his good intentions didn’t prevent him from accidentally dropping a socket from a socket wrench.
October 2015—Not long after the FDA approved a primary HPV screening algorithm for women age 25 and older, in April 2014, things began to stir on the Western front—specifically, in Bellingham, Wash., where Northwest Pathology is based. “We started offering it pretty much right after the FDA approved it,” says Ryan Fortna, MD, PhD, director of molecular pathology at the regional, independent anatomic pathology group.
September 2015—This year’s meeting of the American Association for Clinical Chemistry saw soaring temperatures in the host city of Atlanta and a lofty number of attendees. Nearly 18,000 laboratory professionals took part in the five-day extravaganza, which featured hundreds of educational sessions and poster presentations, along with 720 exhibitors that filled the expo floor. A selection of company news released at the meeting is included in this special section.
September 2015—Why issue accreditation requirements for a technology before it’s seen widespread adoption? For the same reason you close the barn door before the horse has wandered out. At least that’s the view of Maria M. Shevchuk, MD, who, as chair of the CAP’s In Vivo Microscopy Committee, helped develop the new in vivo microscopy section of the Laboratory Accreditation Program’s 2015 anatomic pathology checklist.
September 2015—There was a time when Michael L. Talbert, MD, didn’t spend much time thinking about delta checks in his laboratory. “I would periodically look at them, but I didn’t put a whole lot of thought into ranges or into which analytes were most efficient or effective,” says Dr. Talbert, who is chair of pathology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and chief of service and medical director of pathology and laboratory services at OU Medical System, Oklahoma City.
September 2015—Emerging and re-emerging viruses are well and alive, says Sherif Zaki, MD, PhD, chief of the Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At the Clinical Virology Symposium in April, he spoke on viral etiology in unexpected deaths, presenting a list of outbreaks of unexplained illnesses in which his branch took part in the past two decades and which turned out to be caused by viruses.
