Clinical Biochemistry, official journal of the Canadian Society of Clinical Chemists, publishes articles relating to the applications of molecular biology, biochemistry, chemistry and immunology to clinical investigation
and to the diagnosis, therapy, and monitoring of human disease.
Professional Development credits must be entered by February 28, 2012!
CSCC provides the profession with an increasingly strong and effective voice at national and international levels.
It is the only national organization that speaks out for the clinical chemist and their
rights, responsibilities and concerns.
Members are invited to log in and take the survey listed under Membership Tools. Only 6 questions - 5 minutes of your time!

Reporting of the presence of common interferences hemolysis (H), lipemia (L) and icterus (I) to physicians is crucial for the accurate interpretation of laboratory results. Both the reporting of the interference as well as an interpretation of how the test result is affected is mandated by regulatory organizations (eg. QMPLS in Ontario). Numerous chemistry analyzers on the market now offer applications to detect the degree of hemolysis, lipemia and icterus in clinical samples in an automated fashion. Additionally, both instrument vendors’ technical bulletins and independently published literature is available to correlate the numerical values reported from the instrument to the degree of interference for each chemistry or immunoassay test. Implementing a fully automated reporting solution for HIL remains a challenge for many clinical laboratories. This session will review key considerations for designing a fully automated reporting system for HIL. |

| Learning Objectives: |
At the end of this presentation participants will 1. describe approaches for standardizing the reporting process for common interferents hemolysis, icterus and lipemia |

Re: Electronic Health Record – Action Required
To the Canadian Clinical Chemistry Community:
In 2001 the Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments established Canada Health Infoway (Infoway) as a federally-funded, independent, not-for-profit organization, with membership consisting of Canada's 14 federal, provincial and territorial Deputy Ministers of Health. Infoway’s objective is to accelerate the use of interoperable electronic health information systems and electronic health records (EHRs) across the country. The clinical goal is that 100% of Canadians should have an EHR by 2015. To date, approximately $1.2 billion has been invested by Infoway in this venture.
