Celebrating 25 years of the BSMT14 May 2010
Structure of talk Influencing factors
Health and safety Quality Methods Technology Other influences
Political Financial Education & training Science Professional Customer Cultural Equality and diversity (race, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion and belief)
Health and safety 1957 lab workers 2-9 times more likely to die of TB than others1969-70 Edinburgh - hepatitis outbreak (8 pts; 3 staff died)1973 London School of Hygiene - Smallpox escape Perceptions of risk
Health and SafetyHealth and Safety at Work etc Act 1974Howie Report 1978, 1983 (JW Howie and CH Collins)Report of the Working Party to Formulate a Code of Practice for the Prevention of Infection in Clinical Laboratories (the "Howie Report")The Howie Code (1978)Code of Practice for the Prevention of Infection in Clinical Laboratories and Post-mortem Rooms (the Howie Code")
Howie ReportAlthough an early draft had been "leaked and was published in a trades union journal the Report has not been published by the Department.
The reasons for this were never made clear to members of the Working Party which produced it, nor to the newspapers which supported publication.
It may be relevant here to note that only one of the five recommendations made in the Report (testing of equipment by the PHLS) has been implemented.
For details see Howie and Collins The Code of Practice
H&S LegislationHealth and Safety (Dangerous Pathogens) Regulations 1981 Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 (COSHH) (EC Directive 80/1107/EEC)Amended 1996, 1887, 1998, 2001Replaced by 2002 COSHH Regulations (EC Directive 98/24/EC) (amended 2003, 2004)

Is it true that more Americans who were in the Twin Towers have died in car crashes since 9/11/2001 than died in the 9/11 atrocity?
Car crashes kill 400 times more people than international terrorism does in developed countries
History of QualityGuilds system (12th-19th Century - master craftsmen, journeymen)Industrial revolution (18th-19th Century, mass production)Rise of technology (tools, machines, factories, iron prod)Mass production (Ford cars)1st World War (munitions)Need for inspectionTechnical Inspection Association (1919)Walter Shewart (QC stats 1920s)
History of QualityPost WW2 quality (Japan, Toyota)1980s (quality revolution in US)1990s (service industries, JIT, TQM, Six Sigma, ZDP, Benchmarking, LEAN etc)1970 external quality assessment (40th anniversaries)Late 1980s (CPA-UK) lab accreditation ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management SystemISO 13485:2003 QMS for Medical Devices

What do we mean by Quality?The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirementsISO 9000
What do we mean by Quality?What do you look for in a car?Point A to point B? Speed?Colour?Manual vs Automatic?Diesel vs Petrol?Good stereo?Practicality vs styling?
What do we mean by Quality?In technical usage, quality can have two meanings:
the characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs a product or service free of deficiencies
Source: American Society for Quality http://www.asq.org/glossary/q.html A subjective term for which each person has his or her own definition
Quality in the laboratoryThe right result on the right specimen from the right patient that is accurate, timely, and properly interpreted

What do we mean by Quality Management?
Quality manual Meeting accreditation standards Adequate quality assurance (EQA, IQC, IQA) Validated methods, equipment & kits Having good SOPsQuality Management System (QMS)
What do we mean by assuring quality?
Having a service culture focussed on the user / clinician and patient Timely, high quality clinical advice and interpretation of results Good reporting of all diseases for surveillance Public health focus
Quality Accounts DH expectationsQuality Accounts should assume the same significance for NHS as financial accountsFor the first time, all organisations will account publicly for the quality of care they provideThe first Quality Accounts will (subject to legislation) be published in 2010, based on information about quality improvement in 2009/10Measures therefore need to be identified and in place prior to April 2009

*As for microbiology laboratories, they are under a variety of management arrangements and follow no standard diagnostic criteria in their operations. There is a need to bring consistency to the delivery of public health functions of laboratories and standardise on current good practicesAction proposed: rationalisation of microbiology laboratories and introduction of standards for diagnosis and profiling of micro-organisms
First SOP issued in 1996Real need for increased representation from individuals with molecular expertise
