ERRORS IN LABORATORY PROCEDURES

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1953
To the Editor: —Surveys of laboratory accuracy (Shuey, H. E., and Cebel, J.: Bull. U. S. Army M. Dept. 9 :799, 1949) have given adequate proof that too many laboratory reports are in such gross error that they are not only misleading but, at times, a cause of serious errors.

Common laboratory errors

Pediatric Infectious Disease, 2014
In this modern era of technology, there is plethora of investigations available in the market, but without deriving clinical diagnosis, indiscriminate use of laboratory investigations is expensive & misguiding. Laboratory investigations are neither shortcut nor final answer to the diagnosis.

Errors in clinical laboratories or errors in laboratory medicine?

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM), 2006
AbstractLaboratory testing is a highly complex process and, although laboratory services are relatively safe, they are not as safe as they could or should be. Clinical laboratories have long focused their attention on quality control methods and quality assessment programs dealing with analytical aspects of testing.

Laboratory errors and patient safety

International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance, 2015
Purpose – Laboratory data are extensively used in medical practice; consequently, laboratory errors have a tremendous impact on patient safety. Therefore, programs designed to identify and reduce laboratory errors, as well as, setting specific strategies are required to minimize these errors and improve patient safety ...

Analysis of laboratory error

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 1990
Abstract Analytical data have error. Data derived from some soil test activities have greater error than others. The seperate activities performed in each procedure have an error which combine to yield the total error for the procedure. While considerable effort has been given to controlling instrumental error, laboratory sampling appears to be the ...

Clinical laboratory error in perspective

Clinical Biochemistry, 1967
Summary o 1. The subject of error in clinical analyses is reviewed. Arising from this, it is suggested that a more complete evaluation of laboratory variation, particularly as to the type of frequency distribution of the error of results, would lead to a better use of the results. 2.

Statistical error detection for clinical laboratory tests

2012 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2012
Errors in clinical laboratory tests lead to increased costs and patient risks. Such errors are relatively rare, affecting ∼0.5% of samples. Existing techniques for detecting errors have either far too low sensitivity or specificity to be useful. This preliminary study develops statistical sample selection criteria that capture faults upwards of fifty ...
