Enhancing preanalytic surgical specimen management: experience of a system implementation initiative.
Background /objectives: Preanalytic quality control of surgical specimens is often inadequately managed. This study aimed to share the experience of improving quality through the implementation of a system for preanalytic surgical specimens.
Methods: After initial workflow mapping and process optimization, a pathology specimen transfer system was piloted and subsequently implemented hospital-wide. Ongoing monitoring and adjustments were made based on established standards and operational needs. Data were analyzed using R Studio software.
Results: The system reduced errors from 24.82 to 2.40%, including reductions of 86.85% in requisition mistakes, 95.30% in label errors, and 100% in illegible handwriting. From 2020 to 2023, the interval between specimen removal and submission was halved, and delayed fixation decreased from 0.46 to 0.22%.
Conclusions: The system effectively standardized processes, enhanced efficiency, and reduced errors in preanalytic surgical specimens. Quality improvement was dependent on thorough workflow mapping and optimization, as well as ongoing monitoring and adjustments.
期刊介绍:
Diagnostic Pathology is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal that considers research in surgical and clinical pathology, immunology, and biology, with a special focus on cutting-edge approaches in diagnostic pathology and tissue-based therapy. The journal covers all aspects of surgical pathology, including classic diagnostic pathology, prognosis-related diagnosis (tumor stages, prognosis markers, such as MIB-percentage, hormone receptors, etc.), and therapy-related findings. The journal also focuses on the technological aspects of pathology, including molecular biology techniques, morphometry aspects (stereology, DNA analysis, syntactic structure analysis), communication aspects (telecommunication, virtual microscopy, virtual pathology institutions, etc.), and electronic education and quality assurance (for example interactive publication, on-line references with automated updating, etc.).
