UKAS sent out
their update
newsletter today. Back in the day I could just do blood tests without
specifically having to worry about the UKAS sorts of stuff as it was implicit
in what we did. Now (more and more)
we are doing this sort of stuff in the lab because we can rather than for any
actual benefit to patients or service.
Why on earth
do we measure the turnaround time of pre-operative group-and-saves (for example)? Purely because we can, and
then people in offices can measure how quick or slow a lab is at doing a test
which really doesn’t need to be done with any urgency.
This whole “quality” thing needs to be revisited and
reconsidered…
