| dc.description.abstract | Background: Strengthening Laboratory Improvement Process Towards Accreditationrecognizes laboratories where they are in the process of quality improvement; through audits anddirect on technical assistance. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the implementation progress of SLIPTA inselected public health laboratories in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Retrospective study design was used to assess the implementationProgress of SLIPTA in 31 public health laboratories in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The facilitieswere selected using convenient technique. Their implementation status was assessed usingSLIPTA standard checklist, and a semi-structured questioner to identify factors that affect duringthe implementation phases. The current and the last audit scores of the facilities had comparedagainst the SILPTA score level. This study wasconducted from Marchto August 2015. Results: This finding indicated that number of laboratory those have zero star level decreasefrom nine to three,Number of health facility in 2013 those are13(41.9%),6(19.35%) and3(9.67%), have 1,2,3 stars levels respectively, result of 2015 audit shows presence of goodSLIPTA progression than two years ,(number of lab 5(16%) have 4 star,[8(32%),3] and[11(29%),2], only one lab have 5 star,2(6%) have one star and 3(13%) have zero star level. Theaudit finding shows that assessed in 2013 and 2014 before the current audit) was 71(27.5%)point score zero stars to 207(80.3%) point score three stars and 85(33%) point score zero stars to246(95.6%) point score five stars , respectively from a possible 258 points.There were haveregular follow up on LQMS implementation activities in the laboratory, make goodcommunication with laboratory staff, having financial Support, facilitation of training programandhire additional staff had an impact on having good progress on SLMTA implementation. Andalso, here was challenge to implement the system like staff turnover;staff resistance andmisunderstand of the system. Conclusion: Improvements were seen with 31public health laboratory which in level of star scoreand each quality essential element | en_US |
