ARTICLES

Laboratory automation: more than moving from here to there

August 2015—Move it, monitor it, manage it: Hardware and middleware, modules, and interfaces dominate the developments from at least five manufacturers of systems in this year’s product guide to laboratory automation systems and workcells—Beckman Coulter, Siemens, Sarstedt, Inpeco, and Cerner. The guide also includes four systems from a company new to the guide—IDS in Kumamoto, Japan—and additions from Aim Labs, Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Roche, and Beckman Coulter.

Cytopathology + More | Primary HPV screening, Pap-HPV cotesting: interim guidance and a retrospective study

August 2015—The Food and Drug Administration in 2001 approved the use of high-risk HPV testing to triage ASCUS Pap test results (reflex testing). Two years later the FDA expanded the indications for hrHPV testing to include its use as an adjunct to cytology in women over age 30 (cotesting). The rationale for age 30 as a cotesting cutoff point was that hrHPV is common in sexually active young women and most infections are transient and clear without medical intervention.

Cytopathology + More | Telecytopathology’s potential starting to be seen

August 2015—There is a growing body of literature referencing the uses of telecytopathology in clinical care. Telecytopathology is the interpretation of cytopathology material at a distance using digital images. It can be subdivided into three basic applications: rapid on-site evaluation (ROSE), primary specimen diagnosis, and second opinion consultation. Although there is a long history of attempts at implementing telecytopathology for broad clinical use, it still has limited but important applications in patient care.

IOM report on diagnostic errors expected this fall

August 2015—The Institute of Medicine is expected to release in September a consensus study on diagnostic error in health care that will offer recommendations for policymakers, payers, medical institutions, physicians, and patients aimed at preventing harmful mistakes. This will come after nearly two years of studying the U.S. health system and reviewing the perspectives of stakeholders such as the CAP.

Lab studies new steps in urine and anemia screening

August 2015—Despite the demonstrated value of implementing reflex testing algorithms to improve patient care and avert wasteful spending, the road from conceptual understanding to plan-in-action can be rocky. A pathologist at one academic medical center recently talked about his experience with reflex testing algorithms in the areas of urine screening and preoperative anemia screening. His story illustrates the barriers to change as well as the enviable outcomes that could potentially be achieved.

Superbugs on scopes: how UCLA lab found the outbreak

August 2015—It sounds a bit like an Agatha Christie story: Two hospital patients, two lengthy stays, two adjacent but separate rooms. Patient A comes in with a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing isolate. Patient B doesn’t . . . but within 30 days, he’s acquired it. How?

Twists and turns in biomarker exploration

August 2015—Forget the lone tree falling down, unnoticed and thus possibly soundless, in the forest. For pathologists and medical oncologists, the more meaningful philosophical question involves breast cancer biomarkers. If a biomarker looks promising in research, will its impact be felt in clinical practice?

IQCP worries? Help with what ends and begins

July 2015—Technically, it’s true: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ new program, the Individualized Quality Control Plan, is a voluntary, alternative option that clinical laboratories can use to customize their QC plans according to test method, patient population, environment, and personnel competency.

Paths to validating next-gen sequencing assays

July 2015—As more clinical laboratories tread the unfamiliar ground of next-generation sequencing, they are faced with the age-old challenges of establishing validation and quality control processes. Two experts tackled the topic of molecular QC during a recent CAP TODAY webinar presented in cooperation with Horizon Diagnostics and available for viewing on demand …

For CKD, work is on to refine and find biomarkers

July 2015—Getting the upper hand on chronic kidney disease requires taking maximum advantageof existing CKD biomarker capabilities. It also means discovering new markers, though the trick is finding those that can expand treatment options. Some believe fibroblast growth factor-23 has the potential to fit that bill, with one researcher calling it “among the most exciting new targets in chronic kidney disease.”
