Unfortunately, their implementation in clinical practice is limited due to a profound lack of reproducibility. The great technical variability linked to major pre-analytical and analytical caveats makes the interpretation of circulating cell-free miRNA data challenging and leads to inconsistent findings. Additional efforts directed to standardization are fundamental. Several well-established protocols are currently used by independent groups worldwide. Nonetheless, there are some specific aspects in specimen collection and processing, sample handling, miRNA quantification, and data analysis that should be considered to ensure reproducibility of results. Here, we have addressed this challenge using an alternative approach. We have highlighted and discussed common pitfalls that negatively impact the robustness of circulating miRNA quantification and their application for clinical decision-making. Furthermore, we provide a checklist usable by investigators to facilitate and ensure the control of the whole miRNA quantification and analytical process.

Laboratories make an integral part of the healthcare service industry where healthcare providers deal with critical patient results. Errors in these processes may cost a human life, create a negative impact on an organization's reputation, cause revenue loss, and open doors for expensive lawsuits. To overcome these complexities, healthcare organizations must implement an approach that helps healthcare service providers to reduce waste, variation, and work imbalance in the service processes. Lean and Six Sigma are used as continuous process improvement frameworks in laboratory medicine. Six Sigma uses an approach that involves problem-solving, continuous improvement and quantitative statistical process control. Six Sigma is a technique based on the DMAIC process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) to improve quality performance. Application of DMAIC in a healthcare organization provides guidance on how to handle quality that is directed toward patient satisfaction in a healthcare service industry. The Lean process is a technique for process management in which waste reduction is the primary purpose; this is accomplished by implementing waste mitigation practices and methodologies for quality improvement. Overall, this article outlines the frameworks for continuous quality and process improvement in healthcare organizations, with a focus on the impacts of Lean and Six Sigma on the performance and quality service delivery system in clinical laboratories. It also examines the role of utilization management and challenges that impact the implementation of Lean and Six Sigma in clinical laboratories.</p>","PeriodicalId":10760,"journal":{"name":"Critical reviews in clinical laboratory sciences","volume":"60 1","pages":"63-81"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9396906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interference in ACE2 signaling could drive the aforementioned systemic pathologies, such as endothelial dysfunction, microthromboses, and systemic inflammation, that are typically seen in patients with severe COVID-19.
