Activity 18-1: Understanding Planning, Implementation, and Monitoring Processes
|Purpose |To increase understanding of the planning, implementation, and monitoring processes as a part of implementing a quality|
| |management system. |
|Suggested |25 minutes |
|Time | |
|Instructional Method |Brainstorming |
|Instructions |1. Provide each participant with a stack of post-it notes and ask: |
| |Write down 5 major steps that you think are needed to set-up a quality system in order from set-up (Step 1) to |
| |implementation (Step 5); write one step for each post-it note and include its order as 1 through 5. Initial your |
| |post-it notes for later identification and use in Activity 18-2. You have 5 minutes to write your ideas. |
| |Draw 5 columns on a white board or chalk board then label columns Step 1 through to Step 5 (see example image on the |
| |next page). |
| |After 5 minutes, ask the participants to place their post-it notes in the corresponding column. |
| |2. Discuss the order that is logical to perform the 5 major steps (listed below) and reorganize the post-it notes |
| |accordingly. Allow about 20 minutes to discuss the results, noting the pattern that seems the most realistic and |
| |efficient, then lead the discussion so that participants understand and agree with a common sense point of view. |
|Expected |Note: Usually, participants put close to 50% of the post-it suggestions in the right order from the beginning. |
|Results |Step 1: Obtain commitment from authorities (director, and/or ministry of health). |
| |Step 2: Conduct an initial assessment of situation, existing laboratory capacities, and regulatory texts and documents.|
| |Step 3: Organize a managerial committee (if the activity refers to a national system), or nominate the Quality Manager |
| |(if the activity refers to one laboratory system) and define corresponding charge and duties. |
| |Step 4: Write the quality manual, and define content and objectives. |
| |Step 5: Organize the implementation plan, monitoring and managerial review, plan for improvement. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| |Important points that should come from the discussion are: |
| |Careful planning is important to implementation. |
| |Monitoring is essential in order to know if implementation is being done correctly. |

| |European countries. |

Activity 18-2: Understanding Managerial and Staff Responsibilities
|Purpose |To increase understanding of the roles and responsibilities of management and staff in a quality management system. |
|Suggested |20 minutes |
|Time | |
|Instructional Method |Brainstorming. |
|Instructions |Following activity 18-1, ask participants: |
| |We will continue thinking on activities that should be performed to have the quality system actually running, and identify who|
| |will be responsible for it. |
| |Whom you would assign as the person responsible for each of the 5 steps that were defined during activity 18-1? |
| | |
| |Divide the white board or chalk board into 3 columns with headers labeled Laboratory Director, Quality Manager, and Laboratory|
| |Staff. See the example on the next page. |
| |1. Ask the participants to reorganize the post-it notes according to those responsible. |
| |2. Complete the list of activities for each level of responsibility according to the discussion during the module. |
|Expected Results |As one can expect, many responsibilities will be shared by laboratorians and the Quality Manager, or shared by the Quality |
| |Manager and the Laboratory Director. The main point and the summary of this training module is for participants to understand |
| |that being responsible is part of the quality system and each person in the laboratory is an active contributor. |
| |[pic]Available on the CD (in Excel file format) is a “responsibilities” worksheet labeled 18_activity_2_responsibilities made |
| |by reshuffling post-its from one of the pre- and post-discussion examples in activity 18-1. |
| | |
The example below shows only part of the worksheet.
