Monthly reports

Good morning all, are there specific monthly reports you pull for your POC program?  We're looking to revamp our process so I'd like to hear which ones you pull every month.

Thanks in advance :)

We send out a monthly accuchek meter cleaned report for infection control purposes. This year we started an accuchek OTE (other test entry) usage report for units that perform pregnancy and occult blood testing. We occasionally run other individual reports on an on-demand basis, but just the two routine monthly reports. 

Good morning. I send out my POC audit: QC labeled correctly, meters/docks clean and delayed/missed repeats for hypoglycemia.

Maggie- Do you go around and inspect for QC labeling and meters/docks cleaned? 

Yes, Jennifer, I do! Each unit has a set number of meters, docks, and totes for supplies. I make random trips to the floors/units and inspect however many meters are docked (some are always being used), the docks, and the QC vials. It takes a while to get it all done, but the randomness has improved the compliance.

I'm looking to revamp my monthly QA for waived and moderately complex testing. Any input on what you monitor would be greatly appreciated.

The only true "reports" that I run monthly are for our glucose meters: I do a failed QC report, and a repeat testing report to see how many operators are repeating glucose testing within 5 minutes.
I do have a monthly checkoff list for myself that includes monitoring QC for my connected POC devices, checking off non-connected device QC/maintenance/temperature logs, redocking any of my non-LAN glucose meters, and a few other tasks such as inspecting QC/strip labeling, reviewing Outstanding lists for missed results. It just helps me keep sane!

Following. My monthly reports are very basic. Volumes, iSTAT quality code percent (so far I'm not doing anything with this, just trying to get a baseline), monthly QC checkoff in middleware, glucose critical comment compliance. I really should be having someone do monthly rounds for supply labeling and meter cleaning. We glance at these things are we're out and about but have not been great about documenting it. 

In addition to the checks mentioned above, I look at 
  • Monthly temperature data on all refrigerators/freezers that store POCT supplies
  • QC logs sheets for non-waived tests - for interfaced and non-interfaced tests
  • I am trying to get started on QC log sheets review for waived testing
Good luck!
