Monitor processes, resources, and epidemiological trends for more precise and strategic decisions.
Microbiology plays a crucial role in the clinical setting by providing essential information for medical decisions and patient treatments. Its efficiency directly impacts the satisfaction of all stakeholders, strengthening the reputation and sustainability of laboratories, which requires meticulous management to maintain quality and efficiency.
To achieve this, it is essential to rely on indicators that enable the monitoring of strategies, processes, resources, and personnel. Additionally, epidemiological indicators play a key role in public health, making the sector safer and more efficient. Adopting a data-driven approach allows for more strategic decision-making, driving laboratory competitiveness and excellence.
Discover the comparison of microbiological indicators.
Through a partnership between SBPC/ML and Controllab, microbiological indicators have been integrated into a broader set of laboratory indicators available on the Metricare platform. These indicators were developed and discussed in collaboration with renowned microbiology experts.
The data reported on the platform is anonymized and compared, then returned to participants through a ranking system and a market comparison chart, highlighting the distribution of results among participants. This allows laboratories to assess whether their reported data is above, at, or below the market average.
Comparative analysis helps identify efficiency gaps. With these insights, laboratories can refine processes, set more precise goals, and enhance protocols—leading to greater efficiency and an improved patient experience.
Without market comparison, performance analysis may be limited, making it more challenging to implement effective improvement actions.
Epidemiological Indicators: A New Perspective on Infection Control
One of the key differentiators of this initiative is its innovative approach to epidemiological indicators. These include resistance in blood cultures, surveillance cultures, and blood culture positivity in hospitalized patients. These metrics support not only laboratories but the entire healthcare ecosystem by providing valuable insights for infection prevention and control.
In addition to epidemiological indicators, the program covers various other categories, such as financial, human, and client resource management, as well as pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical processes, demographic indicators, and equipment management.
Laboratories already participating in Metricare can access this information at no additional cost, reinforcing their commitment to continuous improvement and patient safety.
Why is your participation essential?
By joining this initiative, your laboratory will gain access to exclusive and specialized microbiological data that not only enhance management and operational efficiency but also provide a strategic perspective on:
- Financial and Human Resource Management: Optimize resource allocation and reduce costs with data such as Average Ticket, Outsourcing of Tests, Professional Productivity, among others.
- Operational Efficiency: monitor and improve laboratory processes with data on Result Delays, Rescheduling of result deadlines, and others.
- Epidemiological Indicators: track data on bacterial resistance and hospital-acquired infections to ensure better clinical outcomes.
- Equipment Management: monitor the average availability of microbiology analytical equipment (Uptime).
- In addition to the specific microbiology indicators, your laboratory will be able to access and monitor a broad range of indicators from Metricare, such as: organization and strategy, governance and sustainability, patient safety, financial management, operations management, resource management, stakeholder management, processes, and outcomes.
With this holistic view, laboratory management can make more informed decisions and drive even more sustainable results for the organization.
Your laboratory can become a benchmark in efficiency and strategic management. Join and lead with data!
