Accreditation; Self Assessment VikiMassey, Quality Coordinator A Joint Venture of London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Care London
Two Phases of Accreditation • Peer review assessment • Self-assessment
Purpose of Self-assessments • All laboratories starting the OLA process at the same time • Assist laboratories in: • Setting priorities • Planning for peer visits • Looking at big picture • Snap shot of “where we are” • How do we measure up?
Self-assessment Facts • An audit or gap analysis • Once roll-out completed – once every 5 years • Requires a physical walk about – not a desk audit!
Three Phases • Preparatory: • Create timelines (report due in 120 days) • Breakdown tasks • Assign responsibilities • Audit: • Fill out checklist
Three Phases • Review/Analyze/ Prioritize (RAP) • Compile non-conformances • Categorize – major /minor • Develop reasonable action plans • Complete exception report for submission
Phase One - Prepare 1. Create timelines • audits conducted by end of June • action plans due 2 weeks post audit • exceptions reports complete by August 20 2. Schedule self-assessments by campus 3. Assign responsibilities by discipline • OLA trained assessors- team leaders, team members • Volunteer assistants
Phase Two - The Audit 4. Fill out the checklist by: • Interviewing staff • Tracing processes (policies to evidence) • Observing staff at work • Making notes on checklists
Phase Three - RAP 5.Compile information gathered and look for: • similar issues in multiple areas • trends • isolated incidents 6.Categorize non-conformances to Major/Minor • use to set priorities
Phase Three - RAP 7. Develop an action plan to correct every non-conformance: • Achievable, Reasonable, Effective
Phase Three - RAP 8. Prepare and submit report to OLA within 120 days of notification • Sample for detail levels required • Getting signatures - allow enough time • Fax, E-mail, Mail
Potential Follow-up • OLA requests compiled checklist for QA purposes • OLA requests compiled checklists to review, submission to scientific or advisory panel • Completed checklists reviewed at your next peer assessment • Initiate peer assessment
