Quality Control and Quality Assurance in Hematology
Published in Harold R. Schumacher, William A. Rock, Sanford A. Stass, Handbook of Hematologic Pathology, 2019
Continual assurance, high dependability, and long-term comparability of data are all concepts which describe the patient’s need for careful and exact laboratory diagnosis followed by a physician or team of physicians.
New IT and the Kaiser Chiefs: EMR integration in the Aloha State
Published in Wendy Currie, David Finnegan, Integrating Healthcare with Information and Communications Technology, 2018
One clinic chief recalled how its team building strategy had targeted dysfunctional individualism and supported CIS implementation: We knew that if we couldn’t work as a team there was no way CIS was gonna fly: we would just fall flat on our faces. So we spent a lot of time talking about what we do in the clinic, why we are here in the first place, why do we want to work in this clinic versus other clinics, stuff like that. It’s the clinic as a whole taking care of the patient. Trust and respect for each other and our patients; work and grow as a team based on honesty, integrity, compassion and dependability; strive for excellence; live by our principles in regards to ourselves, clinic and region. The whole clinic built those: the housekeeping, the front desk, the doctors and nurses, the MAs. So I think that gave us a good basis when we had to make a lot of changes in how we do things. We had some underlying respect for each other’s jobs.

In this study, scientificity was based on four elements: credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability (Krefting, 1991; Morse, 2015; Thomas & Magilvy, 2011). Credibility was supported by the involvement of co-authors with an expertise in health promotion research and interventions among seniors. The interview guide was also validated by two of the authors and then pre-tested with one older adult involved as a peer educator. Transferability is supported by a detailed description of the participants. Dependability is strengthened when ample information is given about the methodology and methods, and the justifications for these choices in relation to the study objectives (e.g., the reasons for choosing the Do-Live-Well model). The validation of the coding strategy (co-coding of the first two interviews) and the use of a relevant conceptual framework (Do-Live-Well model) to guide the analysis ensured dependability of the study. Furthermore, completion of a journal following each interview is recognized as an essential component of rigor in a qualitative approach as it encourages the reflexivity of researchers (Phillippi & Lauderdale, 2018). Finally, concerning confirmability, potential biases in data analysis (e.g., the idea that engagement in meaningful occupations is a guarantee of healthy ageing) were discussed among the authors throughout this research project.

On the other hand, the increased dependability in conjunction with the lack of insight of the diseased person produces an ethical dilemma. The most important question relates to free will and understanding the complexity of informed consent. The target population of persons with memory problems by definition has restricted insight due to the nature of the condition, and therefore these individuals are less able to make the best decisions. Researchers are fully aware of such difficulties. The main ethical question is: who is responsible for providing the informed decision to participate in HRI: the patient, the caregiver, the researcher, or another party? The importance of who assumes responsibility is becoming more relevant in light of the potential hazards of HRI in that they may cause physical or psychological damage to a patient’s wellbeing.

We evaluated the data against Lincoln and Guba’s criteria for assessing the trustworthiness of qualitative research (Lincoln & Guba, 1985). To establish credibility, we have instituted member-checking procedures to “circle back” to patients and provide an opportunity to approve aspects of the interpretations of the data they provided (Doyle, 2007). Brief memos summarizing themes from focus groups and interviews were shared with participants, who elected to receive the study results. However, due to the sensitive nature of the topic discussed, many patients indicated that they did not want to be contacted after the focus group. Those who were sent the memos, did not contact the researchers back with any changes or recommendations. To establish transferability, we shared the methodology and provided quotes and detailed descriptions of the context and participants in disseminated materials. To establish dependability, we referred to a prescribing clinician and a patient-engagement expert to evaluate the process, findings, interpretations and conclusions. To establish confirmability, we applied analyst triangulation by relying on multiple analysts to code data and review findings.
