Detailed Agenda
10:00 am Welcome and Introductions
10:15 Implementation of eConsent in an Academic Biorepository Utilizing Lean Six Sigma Principles
Taylor B. Daughrity, Research Assistant I, Core, CHTN Western Division, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Ms. Daughrity’s short course presentation demonstrates a practical use of the LSS principles using the classic DMAIC strategy from her experience implementing e-Consent at CHTN Western Division. A mixture of examples and hands-on activities will
be used to challenge the biobanker’s mind to ‘think lean.’
The first section of the short course focuses on the Define and Measure Phases of DMAIC, and includes a Waste Reduction activity.
11:15 Break
11:35 Implementation of eConsent in an Academic Biorepository Utilizing Lean Six Sigma Principles (Cont.)
Taylor B. Daughrity, Research Assistant I, Core, CHTN Western Division, Vanderbilt University Medical Center
The second half of the short course focuses on the Analyze, Improve, and Control phases. This half includes an Affinity Analysis and Fishbone Diagram activity, and gives the participants a chance to be a part of CHTN Western’s Pilot launch of electronic
consent.

Pre-Conference Short Course Description
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) harnesses the power of 50+ years of clinical laboratory accreditation expertise to provide a comprehensive accreditation program for biorepositories. In this short course, participants gain an overview of the
Biorepository Accreditation Program (BAP) from the Vice Chair of the CAP BAP Committee who is also an experienced inspector. The course also reviews the most common accreditation problem areas as recently published and provides a framework for improving
overall quality in biorepositories.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the historic role of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) in improving clinical laboratory quality
- Discuss options for certification and/or accreditation of biorepositories
- Define the College of American Pathologists’ Biorepository Accreditation Program
- Understand the overall goals of a CAP Biorepository Accreditation On-Site Inspection
- Name the most commonly cited deficiencies from the first five years of the CAP BAP
- Formulate ideas for addressing common problem areas in their own biorepositories
Who Should Attend
- Biobank staff, managers, and those interested in the practicalities of CAP Accreditation
- Hospital or biobank administrators deciding if CAP Accreditation is appropriate for their facility
- Pathologists and Clinical Laboratory leaders familiar with CLIA interested in CAP Biobanking Accreditation
