Capfooter Mercy Medical Center's Microbiology Lab goes Molecular! Mercy Medical Center’s Microbiology Lab has acquired the Cepheid GeneXpert Dx Instrument for on-demand, continuous access molecular testing. This advanced technology platform can improve patient throughput and maximize the quality of patient care. In January 2013, all test requests for C. difficile are being run on the GeneXpert. Clostridium difficile is the common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. C. diff infections have been increasing in incidence and severity. · GeneXpert assay's accuracy eliminates the need for additional or repeat testing. · Patient management improves by allowing physicians to administer appropriate therapy. · For hospitalized patients: Infection control measures are initiated faster so the length of hospital stay for patients decrease. Mercy Medical Center is the FIRST hospital in northeast Ohio to achieve ISO 15189℠ accreditation. Mercy Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine achieved ISO 15189℠ accreditation through the College of American Pathologists based on quality standards outlined by the International Organization for Standardization. Accreditation focuses on improved patient safety and risk reduction, outlining standards for quality and competence particular to medical laboratories. Mercy laboratory professionals and pathologists work behind the scenes to accurately and efficiently analyze fluids and tissues to help physicians diagnose disease, manage treatment and determine a person's risk for developing a medical condition. Mercy Medical Center recently became the first hospital in northeast Ohio to achieve ISO 15189℠ accreditation, through their participation in the CAP 15189℠ quality management program. The ISO 15189℠ standard, issued by the International Organization for Standardization, focuses on improved patient safety and risk reduction, outlining standards for quality and competence particular to medical laboratories.
