I have used QA feedback/documentation/randomized block and slide audit. Would include occurence, root cause, technical variables, patient impact, correction, training, competency etc. I would think you develop scaling like FMEA maybe for subjective items. The pathologist feedback is always a good source.You can use manual paper or LIS to track, then trend in excel. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

I am not talking productivity, but quality. How can we monitor these benches to help staff improve the quality of their work? I don't want this to be punitive, but a learning experience for all. Thank you in advance for any ideas that you may be able to share!
