KIMMS

The Key Incident Monitoring and Management Systems (KIMMS) aims to monitor the pre- and post-analytical phase of the laboratory quality system and is designed to provide pathology practices with the tools for continuous measurement and monitoring of key incident quality indicators.

There are four surveys per year. Participants are to submit specific data for the previous three months. For example, data submitted in January is for the period between October 1st and December 31st of the previous year. Data is submitted via the myQAP portal. The QAP then produces the report and uploads it onto the portal.

Data for the survey is entered into the result entry tab in the myQAP portal. A list of all incidents captured and measured by the KIMMS program can be found here. Instructions to input the incidents recorded by participants will be provided when the survey opens.
