We have been using Cerner Millennium Pathnet since 2005 and our amazing Lab Informatics team has set up QC entry for each test in Pathnet with parameters that we defined. Each test group has an established relationship with a QC group. When opening the result entry worksheet, an appropriate QC group for the tests being resulted must be chosen. If the QC has not been satisfactorily resulted in the established time period, a warning displays and result/interpretation verification can not proceed until QC has been satisfied. This way we are always confident that QC is current for tests being resulted. If computer downtime is expected, we print copies of QC so we know when it has been performed and when it will expire. If unexpected downtime, we perform and record QC as indicated per procedures and enter it into Pathnet during downtime recovery. This process has served us well for the past 12 years and always satisfies AABB, CAP, FDA, and internal auditors.
