Hospital b scores high in survey I Mason GeneraLHospltal & Fe ally of Clinics labora- tory completed a jo!nt commissiol L regulatory inspection in July. By law, lal?oratories are irequired to be inspect- ed every two years1 The joint commission has bee~ inspecting the MGH laboratory since 1993. The inspections are an opportunity to both acknowl- edge the quality Work in a laboratory and gain insight on how to contim~ally improve, said Dee Ann Kline, Ph.D., director of laboratory services at MGH & FC. Because laboratory activities are dispersed through- out the organization, the inspection also surveyed ac- tivities in the nursing units and the various clinics. "During the last year, the lab team has actively en- gaged in a number of projects aimed at improving work flow, standardizing processes and creating a culture of positive teamwork," Kline said. "The hard work had a definite impact on the quality of the lab and success of the inspection. Several of the staff came in on their day off or when off shift to meet with the inspector. Techni- cal staff and lab assistants readily answered questions or demonstrated skill."
