Background on improvement
The reason for conducting an assessment of laboratory system performance is to provide the basis for collaborative efforts at improvement. It is our hope that by working collaboratively we can significantly improve the overall performance of our laboratory system in Minnesota and ultimately protect, maintain and improve the health of all Minnesotans.
Success with the Laboratory System Improvement Program (L-SIP) necessitates an external focus, involving all system partners to address quality improvement centered on the State Public Health Laboratory System (SPHL System) itself. The improvement process, in reality, begins with the assessment. The dialogue and discussion that occur during the assessment begins development of ideas and interest in improving collaboration.
Results of the Assessment
The MDH Public Health Laboratory will convene follow-up meetings to begin prioritizing areas for improvement based on those results. In addition, a process will be initiated to design the ideal laboratory system by initiating three design groups that represent the Clinical, Environmental/Certification and Newborn Screening disciplines of the public health laboratory. These design groups will be made up of both internal public health laboratory staff as well as external partners. The improvement/design process will be lead by consultant Olivia Mastry.
