Employers utilize both these provincial and national frameworks to establish specific workplace responsibilities and to develop job descriptions, policies and procedures.  \nThe CSMLS General Medical Technology Competency Profile establishes the scope of practice for medical laboratory technologists in Canada; it restricts MLTs to performing only those duties specifically outlined within that competency profile. MLTs must skillfully perform laboratory procedures. They must know the theory behind laboratory analyses and understand associated clinical applications. They must be competent, demonstrate sound judgment and possess good interpretive skills. They must be able to adapt to evolving situations related to various tests and outcomes, must follow established laboratory methods and must adhere to relevant quality control protocols. In addition, medical laboratory technologists must demonstrate appropriate professional conduct at all times.  \nStandard 1: Professional Responsibility and Accountability  \nMedical laboratory technologists are responsible for their individual professional practice and conduct. MLTs:  \n1. Follow the CSMLS Code of Professional Conduct.  \n2. Are responsible and accountable for continued individual competence.  \n3. Practice within the legal and ethical framework of their profession.  \n4. Adhere to accepted standards within their profession.  \n5. Place patient welfare above all other considerations.  \n6. Promote interdisciplinary collaboration with other health professionals.  \nStandard 2: Competent Application of Knowledge  \nMedical laboratory technologists possess a high degree of scientific knowledge; they understand the theories, techniques and clinical applications associated with medical laboratory analyses. They apply  \nthese skills and scientific knowledge to current practice. They maintain continued competence, commit to lifelong learning and sustain their professional skills.  \nMLTs:  \n1. Demonstrate competence as outlined in the current CSMLS General Medical Laboratory Technology Competency Profile.  \n2. Correlate analyses, diagnoses, clinical data and treatment information to improve and maximize patient outcomes.  \n3. Apply institutional policies and procedures in day-to-day practice.  \n4. Adapt to changing practice requirements within the clinical environment.  \nStandard 3: Competence and Proficiency in Laboratory Practice  \nMedical laboratory technologists skillfully perform laboratory analyses. They utilize sound judgment and advanced interpretive skills to effectively recognize and quickly respond to developing situations associated with laboratory methods and patient testing, including troubleshooting equipment malfunctions and reviewing abnormal quality control results.  \nMLTs:  \n1. Practice according to established protocols, safety guidelines, and existing legislation and regulations.  \n2. Verify relevant data and ensure that appropriate specimens are properly procured and handled.  \n3. Perform preanalytical procedures on specimens from a variety of sources.  \n4. Apply appropriate principles when performing analytical techniques and validating test results.  \n5. Utilize scientific knowledge to interpret medical data.  \n6. Practice and promote principles of good quality","cbCaieYhRlNq2jsz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieYhRlNq2jsz","pdf",133387,"English","# Standards of Practice Overview\n## Purpose and Benchmarking\n## CSMLS and Provincial Standards\n## Scope of Practice and Competency Profile\n# Standard 1: Professional Responsibility and Accountability\n# Standard 2: Competent Application of Knowledge\n# Standard 3: Competence and Proficiency in Laboratory Practice\n# Standard 4: Communication and Collaboration\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What does a “standard of practice” mean in this document?\",\"answer\":\"A standard of practice is the desired and achievable performance level used to evaluate whether actual performance meets acceptable expectations.\"},{\"question\":\"How do CSMLS standards and provincial standards relate to each other?\",\"answer\":\"CSMLS provides minimum national standards, while provincial regulatory bodies establish additional stringent standards governing disciplinary matters within their jurisdiction.
