Laboratory Statistics

Performance statistics are routinely gathered, analysed and monitored by the QARC and reports are prepared and fed back at three monthly intervals. These include information about workloads, staffing, backlogs, pickup rates, sensitivity and specificity. It is the responsibility of the QARC to encourage laboratory chiefs to deal with any individual who is unable to meet targets. Often however, the information is used in a positive way, possibly as the result of an incident, to provide reassurance about a person's performance over a period of time.
