Abstract

Objective: The project helps improve the capacity of laboratory quality management system (LQMS) and build a software system combined with a model of connecting medical test results between medical facilities in Hai Duong province. Subjects and Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with intervention at 48 laboratories in 12 provincial hospitals, 12 district medical centers and 21 private clinics in Hai Duong on the LQMS system, connecting patient test data, internal and external control results, equipment, chemicals, testing methods and personnel on the "Software for managing quality and connecting medical test results". The data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel 365. Results: 100% of laboratories have improved their capacity to manage and control laboratory tests, built a software for managing and controlling laboratory tests and linked laboratory results, 100% of participating laboratories have deployed the software. Survey results show that over 83% of laboratory staff and clinicians are satisfied with the features and effectiveness of the software. The interconnection model is organized in 3 layers under the direction of the Department of Health and is now operating stably. Conclusion: The study has helped Hai Duong province improve its capacity to manage quality of laboratories. The software not only helps manage interconnected data when patients are transferred to other facilities but also controls internal and external control data to contribute to improving the quality of testing. The interconnected model is built with clear principles and operating procedures, feasible when applied in practice.
