Medical Laboratory Technologists as Quality Improvement Team Members
1Vice-Chair, Health Quality Council of Saskatchewan, Former President, Federation of Medical Regulatory Authorities of Canada, Saskatoon, SK.
Abstract:
While Medical Laboratory Technologists (MLTs) do not generally work directly with clinical healthcare teams they have proven to be invaluable contributors to team-based systematic quality improvement in healthcare. They were early adopters of standardized systemic performance measures coupled with explicit strategies for improving suboptimal performance. Their attentiveness to systemic analysis of systemic factors influencing performance has proven to be valuable in our quest to make care optimally safe and high quality.
