We leverage this unparalleled experience, understanding and knowledge to create flexible, integrated assessment models covering the full spectrum of health services – from large networks and health systems to long-term care, small home care, community health centres and primary care organizations. We are present in more than 15,000 locations in over 38 countries, including all 13 Canadian provincial and territorial health jurisdictions each serving populations with wide-ranging needs. Learn more about these monthly assessments.Together, HSO and Accreditation Canada work with governments, regional health authorities, hospitals, and community-based programs and services in both the private and public sectors. The monthly summary report is a key opportunity to reflect on the accuracy and proficiency of testing at the testing site.
False negatives and false positives are part of the monthly summary report done by the QA Lead about testing. The QA Lead should be informed whenever follow-up testing on a reactive rapid test is non-reactive or when a negative sample submitted for PHOL testing in the window period has a reactive result. Parallel testing may also occur when a client who has a non-reactive POC test early in the window period, chooses to submit a sample for PHOL testing. Performing two types of tests on samples from the same client is called parallel testing. Analysis of this additional testing helps to confirm the quality of testing at the POC site. Parallel TestingĮvery time a reactive test occurs, clients are advised to confirm the result through standard testing conducted by the Public Health Laboratory of Ontario. AIDS and Hepatitis C Program staff monitor the outcomes of this testing, to ensure that errors are investigated, and corrective action is taken, as needed. If you do not have a log-in for this portal contact AIDS and Hepatitis C Program staff. When PT results have been analyzed, they will be available to your site’s Quality Assurance Lead through IQMH’s secure web portal known as Qview. Each of the staff who provide testing for clients at your site should participate in the proficiency testing program. Each vial contains enough sample to permit five staff to test. These samples will be sent directly from IQMH and do not need to be ordered by sites. Your site will receive blinded panels of samples from IQMH twice yearly (March and October), to test and return for assessment. The program is administered by the Institute for Quality Management in Healthcare (IQMH). The AIDS and Hepatitis C Program has established a Proficiency Testing (PT) Program. The following quality assessments are required at each site: Proficiency Testing Staff competency and knowledge of appropriate procedures is supported by the training resources available on this site.Ī key responsibility of the Quality Assurance Lead is to monitor site procedures and practices. In addition, sites evaluate staff efficacy and monitor procedures and practices regularly. Rapid testing sites are required to regularly evaluate the testing materials they use.
