Assessing CellaVision peripheral blood and advanced RBC application software's impact on hematologic morphology reporting: Real-world implementation experience in a large Veterans Affairs hospital.

Objectives: This quality improvement study, conducted at the Kansas City Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri, examined the change in patient reporting after transitioning from manual to CellaVision software-guided differentials and slide reviews. The primary focus was blasts and schistocytes, given their clinical significance.

Methods: Three months of manual and CellaVision patient data were examined between May 2022 and February 2023.

Evaluating the Sysmex DI-60 Integrated Slide Processing System's impact on hematology differential turnaround times and patient care: Real-world implementation experience in a large Veterans Affairs hospital.

Objectives: This quality improvement study conducted at the Kansas City VA Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri, investigated the Sysmex DI-60 Integrated Slide Processing System's ability to improve hematology turnaround times when integrated into daily practices. It further addressed potential patient care factors associated with changes in turnaround times.

Methods: Three months of manual and Sysmex DI-60 patient data were examined between May 2022 and February 2023.

Implementing Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Into Current Hematology Algorithms.

Objectives: This systematic review investigates reticulocyte hemoglobin's capabilities in screening iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia with and without comorbidities.

Methods: Participant background and laboratory characteristics were extracted from 14 unique studies between 2015 and 2022. Hemoglobin, reticulocyte hemoglobin, and mean cell volume (MCV) values were used in a meta-analysis for iron-deficiency anemia with no secondary conditions.
