Description

The present invention is a skill evaluation system for morphological examination, a presentation device for presenting skill evaluation-related data, a computer program for the presentation device to present skill evaluation-related data, and a presentation method for presenting skill evaluation-related data. Regarding.

In the field of clinical tests that examine a patient's sample or body, each clinical laboratory is required to provide accurate test results to the doctor at any time in order for the doctor to diagnose the disease. In order to satisfy this requirement, external control surveys (quality control surveys) are being conducted in each country to objectively evaluate the test accuracy of each clinical laboratory. In Japan, for example, the Japan Medical Association and the Japan Clinical Hygiene Inspection Engineers Association carry out external control surveys.

Initially, external control surveys were conducted on tests using measuring devices such as biochemical tests and blood cell count measurement tests. However, in recent years, morphological examinations such as peripheral blood smear examination and Papanicolaou stain examination have also been the subject of control surveys. As shown in Patent Document 1, recently, a control survey of morphological examination using the Internet has also been conducted.

Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Ministry of Education Basic Research (C) Project No. 10672172 Research Project "Research to carry out a control survey of morphological examinations using the Internet" May 8, 1999

The test accuracy of each clinical laboratory has been harmonized internationally, and the international standard ISO 15189: 2007 on the quality and capacity of clinical laboratories has been published.

However, the current external control survey is being evaluated on a clinical laboratory basis. In addition, the current external control survey takes one to several months after answering the survey questions until the evaluation results of each clinical laboratory are notified. Therefore, even if the evaluation result is unfavorable, there is a fear that the cause will not be pursued and the accuracy will not be improved, and the product will be left for several months.

In particular, in the field of morphological inspection, the accuracy of the inspection depends on the inspection carrier such as the period of time each inspector was involved in the inspection, the number of specimens handled, and the skill of each inspector. For this reason, inspectors who do not have sufficient morphological examination skills need education to improve their skills. However, in the external control survey currently being conducted, the evaluation is performed on a clinical laboratory basis, and the accuracy of each tester's test is hardly reflected in the evaluation. Therefore, in the current control survey, it is difficult to objectively extract inspectors who do not have sufficient morphological examination skills.

An object of the present invention is to evaluate the morphological examination skill of each inspector in a morphological examination control survey.
