Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 1:
Routine and specialised diagnostic techniques (including molecular biology techniques) in a specific field are selected, performed, interpreted and integrated in accordance with statutory requirements and situational standard operating procedures.
Laboratory results are evaluated through correlation of data in the context of the principles, techniques and instruments used.
Factors that affect procedures and test results are recognised and appropriate action is taken to nullify these.
Laboratory results are interpreted through correlation of data with physiological and Patho-physiological conditions.
Findings are evaluated, interpreted and integrated through application of an in-depth knowledge of disease processes.
Equipment is monitored for efficient functioning and appropriate action is taken when necessary.
Laboratory safety procedures, including infection control, are described and applied throughout all operating procedures.
Quality assurance procedures are described and applied throughout all operating procedures.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 2:
The constraints within a given laboratory are analysed, synthesised and evaluated relative to the services required of the facility.
The use of equipment is learned in depth to obtain the maximum use thereof.
Appropriate new techniques and methods are recommended on the basis of methodological scientific principles.
New techniques and methods which have been written up and/or presented formally are analysed, recommended with motivation and applied where applicable.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 3:
Research needs within the chosen specialisation in the field of medical laboratory sciences are appropriately identified, articulated and investigated.
Appropriate research methods are applied.
Applicable literature is reviewed and documented according to accepted scientific practices.
Data is accurately collected, analysed and interpreted using appropriate qualitative and/or quantitative techniques.
Research findings are evaluated and conclusions and recommendations, based on sound theoretical principles, are formulated.
A research report is produced and presented in accordance with the required institutional research guidelines.
Associated Assessment Criteria for Exit Level Outcome 4:
Human, infrastructural, operational and financial resources are analysed and managed efficiently and effectively.
A business plan for a new medical laboratory service is developed for approval and implementation within a structured situation.
Principles of entrepreneurship skills are explained in terms of the proposed business model.
Current, relevant legislation is explained and applied where applicable, such as within the proposed business plan.
All clinical interactions and related activities are aligned with the provisions and rules of the relevant institution and the codes of ethics of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and relevant professional associations.
All manner of communication, including appropriate use of electronic media and medical terminology, with patients, colleagues and other service providers, is clear, direct and accurate and delivered in terms of maintaining patient confidentially.
Integrated Assessment:
Formative and summative assessment strategies should be used throughout the qualification to ensure that Exit Level and Cross Critical Outcomes are met.
Formative assessment may include:
Tests.
Written and practical assignments.
Literature reviews.
Case studies.
Class presentations.
Seminars.
Peer evaluation.
Simulations in structured learning environments.
Summative assessment may include:
Written examinations.
Oral examinations.
Practical examinations.
Supervisor reports where appropriate.
Objective Simulated Clinical Evaluation Scenarios (OSCES).
