  10. CP Process Improvement Monthly HighlightChemistry-PTHI Testing Description of Problem: Chemistry performed PTHI testing on several platforms. These platforms were susceptible to heterophile interferences. Additionally, testing was not performed on the automation line and therefore was a batched assay. Impact of Problem: Potential interferences, rejection due to transport stability if not received on ice. The test is not available 24/7 for treatment decisions. Description of Solution: Change the PTHI platform to the Centaur that is attached to the automation line. The test can be performed on the primary tube, does not require storage before testing and has greater stability. The test is now available 24/7. How we know it worked and ramifications of the Change: Physicians changed workflow patterns due to testing being available 24/7 and had expectations for a one hour TAT . Results were to be available before morning rounds. Chemistry staff responded by becoming aware of the change in the customers expectations and now monitor the TAT of this assay more closely. TAT expectations have been maintained to date. Interferences and other workflow inefficiencies resultant from using the prior platforms are now eliminated. Date Solution Implemented: January 8, 2013
