Area of Science:

Medical Quality Improvement
Oncology Patient Care
Laboratory Sample Management

Background:

Cancer care quality is paramount, with sample integrity being a critical factor.
High rates of sample rejection and mislabeling can compromise diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficacy.
The Sultan Qaboos Comprehensive Cancer Care and Research Centre in Oman sought to address these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

To reduce blood sample rejection rates.
To decrease the incidence of sample mislabeling.
To enhance the overall quality of cancer care through improved sample handling.

Main Methods:

A one-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design was employed over one year.
The FOCUS PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework guided systematic intervention and evaluation.
Interventions included multidisciplinary team engagement, educational sessions, process modifications, and enhanced communication.

Main Results:

Rejected sample rates significantly decreased from 20.85% to 6.05%.
Sample mislabeling rates substantially reduced from 1.68% to 0.25%.
Statistical analysis confirmed significant improvements in both metrics (P < 0.002 for rejection, P < 0.001 for mislabeling).

Conclusions:

Targeted interventions effectively improved blood sample collection and management.
The quality improvement project enhanced the reliability of diagnostic and research data.
These findings support the implementation of similar strategies in other healthcare settings.
