Recorded Webinar: Leveraging Workflows to Sustain CAP/CLIA Accreditation

Many of the processes an assessor will be evaluating during a CAP inspection are notoriously hard to track.

DCL Pathology has successfully navigated this challenge by automating their processes using workflows from Qualtrax.

In this recorded webinar, Bryan Szpunar, Operations Manager at DCL Pathology, shares examples of the workflows he and his team use to address items from CAP’s All Common and Laboratory General checklists. He explains how these workflows allow his team to save significant time in audit prep, as well as ensure that all requisite components are documented according to the standard. He also discusses the advantages his team has realized through the ease of reporting on these workflows during an inspection.

Finally, Bryan shares how Qualtrax has helped his small team mitigate the need for a full-time quality manager without increasing the burden on his current team.

Takeaways:

• You will learn how to meet requirements for equipment performance verification through workflows (COM.30550)
• You will learn how to track proficiency testing and alternative assessments through workflows (COM.01300)
• You will learn how to empower your staff to keep track of their own continuing education (GEN.54200)
