procedures for maintaining the gains
micro cost analysis - ANSWER - performed to assess the cost of doing a
specific test procedure (helps determine if test should be done in-house,
added, eliminated, sent out)
macro cost analysis - ANSWER - evaluated the overall efficiency and
productivity of the lab and/or specific cost centers
1. determine number of patient reportable tests for specific time period.
2 perform cost study --> breaks costs down into fixed and variable
3. total, fixed, and variable costs are divided by patient reportable tests

Four Primary Management Functions - ANSWER - planning,
organizing, leading, controlling
operating leverage (OL) - ANSWER - Ratio that tells the percent change
in total profit that will result from a given change in revenue
(revenue - variable costs)/ (revenue - variable costs - fixed costs)
greater than 2 represents considerable risk
OSHA blood-borne pathogens standard - ANSWER - Guidelines
designed to protect employees against occupational exposure to blood-
borne pathogens
hepatitis b, hepatitis c, and HIV
issues in December 1991
OSHA Hepatitis B Requirement - ANSWER - Hepatitis B Vaccine
required to be offered free of charge if occupation puts you at risk
engineering controls - ANSWER - Devices that isolate or remove a
blood borne pathogen hazard from the workplace.
examples - sharps containers, handwashing facilities, etc.
Exposure incident - ANSWER - specific eye, mouth, other mucous
membrane, non-intact skin, or parenteral contact with blood or other
potentially infectious materials that results from the performance of an
employee's duties
pg. 2
,3|Page
Parenteral exposure - ANSWER - Exposure to blood or other infectious
materials that results from piercing or puncturing the skin barrier
examples -needle sticks, cuts, or abrasions
electrical grounding - ANSWER - fastening electrical equipment to earth
allows any spikes in electricity to be directed away from the electric
circuit and into the ground where it can be absorbed. prevents buildup of
voltage.
Lock Out Tag Out (LOTO) - ANSWER - OSHA Requirement to protect
workers whenever maintenance/repair tasks are being performed on
electrical equipment
1. Protects you from Electricity
2. Isolated - isolates you from the power source to keep it out/off of you
and safe
lock out - ANSWER - placement of device on breaker or plug placed in
canister to prevent use
tag out - ANSWER - tag placed on device to notify staff not to operate
equipment

formaldehyde - ANSWER - used to preserve tissue removed during
surgery and autopsies. it's a disinfectant that kills fungi, bacteria, and
other microorganisms. it's a human carcinogen.
OSHA Formaldehyde Standard - ANSWER - Aimed at specifically
addressing hazards associated with exposure to formaldehyde,
formaldehyde gas, it's solutions and materials that release formaldehyde.
goal is to reduce risk of exposure by establishing safe exposure limits
Safety Data Sheet (SDS) - ANSWER - an OSHA-required document
that explains the hazards of a chemical product. contains first aid
information if there's contact, accidental release measures, handling and
storage requirements, exposure control, PPE, product, manufacturer,
number to call for emergency info, effective and review date, signature
of person preparing the sheet, and other info.
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) - ANSWER - Exposure limit
published & enforced by OSHA as a legal standard over an 8-hour
average
0.75 ppm for formaldehyde exposure
Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) - ANSWER - 15 - minute Time
Weighted Average (TWA) exposure that should no be exceeded during a
typical work day.
2.0 ppm for formaldehyde exposure
