Good Morning,
I was wondering for those who use rapid drug screening, what are your doing as of 1/1/16 in regards to the JACHO new regulation that the quality control checks must be done daily? Using two kits a day (every
day a test is performed) just for quality control will definitely increase costs. I attached the information received from Joint Commission that our lab forwarded to me.
Both are highlighted in scan
QSA.02.10.01-c 3 addresses the daily checks.
QSA.02.04.01 addresses the alternative of developing a IQCP plan.
So have you changed to send out testing only?
Did you develop a IQCP plan? If so, how did you go about doing that?
Thank you for any help or advice, it is greatly appreciated!
