ARTICLES

Big gain theory—data warehousing pays off

November 2014—It’s been said that “data” is the plural of “anecdote,” and debate has swirled around whether that is true. Something about data makes most of us feel that it is qualitatively different: more manipulable, more reliable, more helpful in drawing useful conclusions. But is there a new stage that might be considered the plural of data? These days, the health care industry is excited about a concept that promises to catapult the value of laboratory information into a new era. It’s the Enterprise Data Warehouse.

How LIS tweaks can enhance efficiency, patient safety

November 2014—So, you have a great idea that will improve laboratory workflow and reduce errors? Chances are the change will depend on automation of some sort, and will involve the LIS. But upgrades to laboratory information systems may not come fast enough, and the middleware may not be available to accomplish what you need. Then the question becomes how to customize the LIS to achieve your aims.

Molecular techniques in a case of concurrent BCR-ABL1–positive CML and CMML

November 2014—CAP TODAY and the Association for Molecular Pathology have teamed up to bring molecular case reports to CAP TODAY readers. Here, this month, is case No. 6. (See the February, August, and September 2013 and the May and June 2014 issues for the first five.) AMP members write the reports using clinical cases from their own practices that show molecular testing’s important role in diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and more. Case report No. 6 comes from UT-MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Blood bank systems sport an assortment of solutions

October 2014—From a focus on donor screening to inroads with inventory and tweaks to transfusion functionality, marketers of blood bank information systems and ancillary solutions continue to make their products faster, safer, smarter, greener. Here’s what CAP TODAY heard about what’s new and soon to come.

AABB ramps up donor screening to help stem TRALI

October 2014—When it comes to the blood supply, the tradeoffs between safety and availability are a tightrope that blood centers walk with extreme care. For several years now, TRALI (transfusion-related acute lung injury) has topped the list of causes of transfusion-related mortality in the U.S. Defined as acute lung injury that occurs during or within six hours of transfusion of a blood product, TRALI is fatal to six to 10 percent of the patients it strikes.

In free CytoAtlas app, 750 images for 100+ diagnoses

October 2014—Like many cytopathology trainees, Charanjeet Singh, MD, who recently completed a cytopathology fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, found it challenging at times to find classic examples of entities to learn from and to study for exams. Most texts he consulted contained just one or two images of a particular diagnosis. And the material in training programs from all specialties varies. Even though there is a large volume of cytology cases at MD Anderson, for example, it wasn’t enough to learn gynecologic cytology, which is why he pursued an elective rotation at Houston Methodist Hospital.

In lab QC, how much room for improvement?

October 2014—The debut of the CMS’ new quality control option, IQCP, has sharpened the focus on QC in the laboratory and raised hopes that risk management concepts can make QC more robust. But one of the most highly regarded quality control experts in the U.S. voices skepticism about the impact of IQCP—and indeed, about U.S. quality control standards in general.

Molecular tumor boards: fixture or fad?

October 2014—Along with everything else the genomics revolution has wrought, there’s this: Molecular testing is threatening to turn medicine into an ongoing episode of “Hoarders.” So much information and so many possible uses for it—including, in some cases, none at all. The expansion of molecular testing is also upending the role of the traditional tumor board.

21 honored for patient care, strategy, safety, and service

October 2014—Stanley J. Robboy, MD, was presented Sept. 7 with the Pathologist of the Year award during an evening event at the CAP ’14 annual meeting in Chicago. At the same event, at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, Seema Sethi, MD, was honored as Resident of the Year, and Samir Sami Amr, MD, received the Pathology Advancement award. The CAP Foundation Gene and Jean Herbek Humanitarian award went to Barbarajean Magnani, PhD, MD, who was given a second award: the Distinguished Patient Care award.
