The solution “ANGLEPRO LIS” is a milestone in itself. ANGLEPRO LIS Laboratory Information System has been designed based on Total Quality Management (TQM) to enhance the performance in various work areas of the Laboratory. This TQM framework involves quality laboratory processes, quality control, quality assessment, quality improvement, and quality goals.
Quality Control (QC) refers to procedures for monitoring work processes, detecting problems, and making corrections prior to report or service delivery. Statistical process control (SPC) is the major procedure for monitoring analytical performance of laboratory methods.
Quality Laboratory Processes refer to policies, procedures, personnel standards, and physical resources that determine how work is done in the laboratory. Laboratory method manuals describe the standard operating processes for producing test results.
Quality Assessment (QA) involves the totality of features and characteristics that bear on the achievement and satisfaction of customer needs. Characteristics such as turnaround time, patient preparation, and specimen acquisition are monitored through QA activities.
ANGLEPRO LIS allows auditing of both top-down and bottom-up links, e.g., making follow-up on complaints. Detailed audits are possible in both directions.
ANGLEPRO LIS provides systems for sample labeling and identification, preventing sample exchange by mistake. The result is produced after investigating a sample collected from an individual.
A technologist responsible for patient results validation uses ANGLEPRO LIS workstation. In case of unexpected results, a delta-check alarm is triggered for further investigation.
The technologist views other measurements performed on the same sample. Relations between results are followed for investigation, sample trace, and results.
If no explanation for the unexpected value is found, the technologist displays all previous results of the same kind, tracing the results back to the patient and across the sample investigations.
A complete cumulative view of results for the patient, combining sample and historical views. Traces combine patient, sample, and historical data for comprehensive analysis.
To enable audit view, workflow information of all major events along the sample audit trail is required. All deletions and changes are traceable in ANGLEPRO LIS.
As defined by accredited bodies, analytical traceability is essential for quality management. The result of an investigation should be traceable back to appropriate analytical standards through an unbroken chain of comparisons.
