The Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) is a highly complex procedure where errors, in both performing and interpretation, carry severe consequences for patient safety. It is therefore imperative to ensure that all laboratory scientists possess a consistently high level of competency and confidence when conducting this critical test.
The solution
A blended mix of digital learning and toolkits that enable laboratory scientists to:
Understand the clinical significance of DAT testing, including the potential causes of a positive result and the consequences of errors
Execute end-to-end DAT process with precision, from accurately processing incoming requests to achieving high-quality test results
Interpret DAT results accurately across different methodologies, including Column Agglutination Technology (CAT) and traditional tube tests
Apply critical thinking to manage complex scenarios, check initial hypotheses and navigate anomalous or unexpected results
