LABORATORY MANAGEMENT

I. Management Process
A. Management of Planning
Henri Fayol
- proposed that the management process is a continuum of functions that the manager must perform to
ensure smooth operations of an organization.
Peter Ducker
- established the four basic management operations:
1. Planning
2. Organization
3. Directing
4. Controlling
Four main function
Planning - “work out in advance”
- thinking and analyzing portion of the management process
Organizing - gather together the necessary resources and people
- develop an organizational structure for putting the plan into action
Directing - leading where one sees the day-to-day tasks necessary to ensure smooth running of lab
Controlling - measurement and feedback mechanism of objectives
- checking up the goals established during the planning phase
- determines the success or failure and identify needed for modification
MANAGEMENT APPROACH
• Scientific Approach
• Systematic approach
• Phases of Management
• Bureaucratic Approach
• Rule centered
• Behavioral Approach
• Performance and Interpersonal approach
• System Approach
• Continuous process of interacting itself and environment
• Organization as an OPEN SYSTEM
What are the skills of Manager?

• Robert Katz:
1. Technical skill = Lab procedure
2. Human skill= interpersonal skill
3. Conceptual skill = knowledge
Setting goals and objectives

- it is imperative to distinguished goals and objectives.
GOALS – are broad long-term ambitions of the organization
OBJECTIVES – are specific short-term standards that allow the manager to achieve goals.
4 BASIC CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD OBJECTIVE
1. It is clearly defined and understood
2. It is obtainable and realistic
3. It has strict time period in which it is to be accomplished
4. It is measurable
Indeed must be SMART!
Principles of Leadership
1. Command responsibility

a. Respondent superior – the leader is responsible for the action of his subordinates
b. Respondent inferior – the individual is responsible for his own actions
2. Unity of command – is having only one superior or one boss
Pygmalion effect
- which holds that people are expected to act in the way they are expected to act by their leaders.
McGregor Theory
 Theory X – managers believe that people are inherently lazy and dislike work, with no ambition and must be
coerced into performing their duties by constant supervision.
 Theory Y – managers believe that work is a natural part of life and people have high degree of ingenuity and
creativity
- Self learners
- Seek responsibility for their performance
- Exercise self-control
Theory Z
States that the managers assumed that people are self-controlled and self-regulated, characteristics of
workers contained in theory Y and that productivity and rewards are not the only objectives but issues such
as the quality work is crucial to their motivation
Leadership Styles
1. Autocratic – self centered
2. Democratic – shared authority
3. Bureaucratic – structure oriented
4. Laissez faire – permissive type
5. Charismatic- attraction seeker
Management of Change
• Comprehensive, cyclic, and structured approach for transitioning individuals, groups, and organizations from the
current state to a future state with intended business benefits
Process of Change
• Formulating the change
• Planning the change
• Implementing the change
• Managing the change
• Sustaining the change
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. Purpose - Not to show how precisely we can predict the future, but rather to uncover the things we must do
today in order to have future
2. Strategies - Strategies donate a general program of action implying commitment of emphasis and resources
to attain broad objectives.
3. Policies - are general statements of understanding which guide, or channel thinking and action in decision
making.

4. Procedures - are plans that is establish a required method of handling future activities
- are truly guides to action, rather than to thinking, and they detail the exact manner in which a certain
activity must be accomplished
5. Rules - are required actions chosen from among alternatives. It requires that a specific and definite action can
be taken or not with respect to a situation
6. Programs - are complex goals, policies, procedures, task, assignments, steps to be taken, resources to be
employed and other elements necessary to carry out a given course of action
7. Budget - is a statement of expected results expressed in numerical terms
8. Departmentalization – grouping together of related activities to expedite the production process

II. Quality Assessment
• A quality management system can be defined as “coordinated activities to direct and control an
organization with regard to quality.”
-ISO
-CLSI
Quality Concepts
“Quality is like love, one knows what it is, but no one knows exactly how to describe or measure it”.
- To develop a plan to assess and ensure the quality of the services delivered by the laboratory, the manager
must have a full understanding of both the history and philosophy of quality as well as knowledge of specific
statistical technique and their application to the laboratory.
(1) Quality Control

- this refers to standards and techniques that measures the quality of the product in isolation
from the needs of the customer or patient.
- this relies heavily on quantitative statistical methods that focus on the final product as defined
by standards set by producer.
- this is also refers to specific activities directed toward monitoring the individual elements of care
- quality control in a laboratory medicine has been defined as the study of those errors, which are
responsibility of the laboratory and the procedures used to minimize them.
Quality control programs
- have been an integral part of the inspection system by the BIRL, Department of health.

- the supervising pathologist should insure that the quality control program is organized for
periodic review or every major portion of the clinical laboratories and that the program can be documented
for the inspector.
QUALITY CONTROL
in the laboratory can be divided into major types
1. Internal Quality control
 Precision of laboratory tests
 Based on the results of control specimen/patient’s specimen
2. External Quality control
 Accuracy of laboratory tests
 Proficiency testing/EQAP (D.M. #86 s. 2000)
 Interlaboratory performance
(2) Quality Assurance

Overall activities conducted by the institution that are directed toward assuring the quality of
services provided.
QA focused on the recipient. Furthermore, QA focuses on the monitoring of outcomes or
indicators of care.
(3) TQM
A quality management program that includes each component in the creation process from the
acquisition of supplies to active follow-up after the product or service has been received by a delighted customer.
• JCI, ISO - organizations that conduct continuous performance improvement program
(4) QAI
- this is a quality management program that focuses on the success of the organization in
designing and achieving its sets of goals and objectives.
- JACHO established nine dimensions of performance that must be included and measured in the
design of the organization’s quality assessment and performance improvement plan such as:
 Efficacy
 Appropriateness
 Availability
 Timeliness
 Effectiveness
 Continuity
 Safety
 Efficiency
 Care and respect
WESTGARD RULES
James O. Westgard
He propounded the MULTI-RULE SYSTEM in the evaluation of the quality control data in
the medical laboratory particularly the multi-ranged controls used in clinical chemistry.
(1) 1 2S RULE – the run is accepted when both control result are within 2SD limits from the
mean value
(2) 2 3S RULE – the run is considered out of control when one of the control results
exceeds the 3SD limits
(3) 2 2S RULE – the run is rejected when both controls exceeds the mean value 2SD or the
mean 2SD limits
(4) R 4S RULE – the run is rejected when both controls exceed mean value 2SD limits and
one exceeds the mean 2SD limit or when the range of a group of controls exceeds 4SD
(5) 4 1S RULE – the run is rejected when four consecutive control results exceed the mean
1SD or the mean 1SD
(6) 10x RULE – the run is rejected when at least 10 consecutive control results fall on the
same side of mean

BASIC QUALITY CONTROL STATISTICS

1) ACCURACY – closeness of a result to the actual value.
2) PRECISION – repeatability of test result
3) DATA POPULATION – it defines the items being studied at particular time
4) POPULATION SAMPLE – a part of population that is used to analyze the cha. Of
that population
5) MEAN – arithmetic ave. for all data contained in a sample population
6) SD – measurement of precision or the tendency of values in each population
7) CV – standard deviation expressed as a percentage
SENSITIVITY vs. SPECIFICITY

 Sensitivity = proportion with specific disease that gives a POSITIVE test result
- (+) disease; (+) test result
 Specificity = proportion of cases with no disease that gives a NEGATIVE test result
- (-) disease; (-) test results
Running Controls
• QC materials?
• Standard solution
• Contains a known concentration of analyte and used to calibrate an assay method or to verify
instruments calibration
• Blank solution
• Used to read out any absorbance caused by reagent or specimen
• Types:
• Test/serum blank
• Reagent blank
• Water blank
Characteristics of a Good Control Solution

• Stable for at least one year
• Same matrix as human samples
• Should span the clinically important range of the analyte
• Packed in convenient containers
When to run controls?

• At the beginning of shift
• When results are abnormally high/low
• After preventive and calibration maintenance
• When opening a new lot of reagent
• If not confident with the patient’s result
• In general, monitoring of analytic methods is done by assaying stable control samples and comparing the
observed values with the expected values
LABORATORY EVALUATION METHOD

1. LEVEY JENNING CHART
A control chart used to plot quality control values against previously set limits to determine if a
procedure is in or out of control
2. YOUDEN PLOT
A technique used to demonstrate and compare the performance of a laboratory on paired
samples with other laboratories using a common control lots or survey material
3. MULTI RULE ANALYSIS
a set of rules such as WESTGARD rules that are used for accepting or rejecting a control run
EXAMINATION OF CONTROL CHARTS

(1) Skewed curves
deviations from the symmetrical bell shaped appearance of a frequency polygon

(2) TREND
a systematic drift in one direction away from the established mean
(3) DISPERSION
control or sample values that are widely scattered in an unusual and unexplained pattern around
the control chart
(4) SHIFT
A sudden switch of data points to another area of the control chart away from previous mean
CONCEPT ERROR
1. RANDOM ERROR
- an error that may occur at any time and place within the production process
- indicate inaccuracy
- need only to be closely monitored for possible occurrence
2. SYSTEMATIC ERROR
- an error that occur in a constant direction or pattern
- indicate imprecision
- occur in predictable direction
- need immediate remedial action
MISTAKES
- in addition to analytical factors that introduce bias and random variability into the analytical procedure,
laboratory analyses are also subject to MISTAKES.
SOME TYPES OF LABORATORY MISTAKES
1. Obtaining the specimen from the wrong patient
2. Specimen mix up

• Incorrect read off from the standard curve
• Read off from the standard curve assigned to wrong specimen
4. Dilution and calculation errors
• Analyst forgot to correct results for dilution
• Samples diluted be first shift technologist were analyzed by a second shift technologist who was not
informed of the prior dilution
• A newly employed analyst thought a 1 to 2 dilution meant 1 volume of serum and 2 volume of diluents
rather than 1 volume of each
5. Reagents and standards solution
• Distilled water rather than buffer was used to prepare a reagent
• pH meter standardized with wrong buffer
• Reagent contamination
• New reagent used without checking against old reagent
6. Instrument problems
• Slow clock used for a times reaction
