25
alternative system to obtain previous record during downtime
backup
26
system performs an interpretation of results, prohibition of action, or provision of information that a tech uses to make decisions
critical point
27
critical point examples
- forward and reverse types do not match - type does not match previous record - product doesn't meet pt special needs - specimen or visit is not current
28
4 aspects of document control
- procedures and forms **verified for adequacy, reviewed and approved**, then **kept current** with regulations and standards - **versions are controlled** and changes are identified - documents are **protected from alteration, or unintended use or destruction** - ensures all testing and processes are performed **according to procedure the same way** by each tech
29
good record keeping tips
- concurrent documentation of each step - use non-water soluble pen - write clearly and neatly - proper method for making corrections - enter enough details so document can be understood in the future
30
10 commandments of cGMP
1. **validation**—design and construct facilities and equipment properly 2. **document control**—write step by step operating procedures 3. **follow written procedures** and instructions (no copies or cheat sheets) 4. **document work** as performed 5. **validate work** 6. **QC and PM**—monitor facilities and equipment 7. design, develop and maintain **job confidence** 8. protect against **contamination** 9. **control components** and product related processes 10. conduct planned and periodic **audits**
31
emphasis on safety/risk management; scheduled inspections monitor compliance

46
an action taken in response to identified problems
corrective action
47
active planning for potential problems

1. policies (what to do) 2. processes (how it happens) 3. procedures (how to do it) 4. forms, records, supporting docs, QC records, templates (tools to use)
49
unknown samples received from a designated provider, tested as other samples demonstrates that a facility provides comparable results to other facilities
proficiency testing (PT)
50
direct observations of test performances, testing previously resulted speciments, and assessment of problem solving skills
competency assessment
51
6 elements required by competency assessment
- direct observation of test performance - monitoring of recording and reporting results - review of test results/worksheets/QC records - direct observation of instrument maintenance and function checks - testing previously resulted specimens - assessment of problem solving skills
52
analysis of quality indicator data, complaint records, blood utilization
product audit

self-audit
54
follow a product to the floor, observe the transfusion
process audit

66
patient info kept so inadvertent ------ does not occur
use or disclosure
67
