Errors in clinical laboratories or errors in laboratory medicine?

open access: yesClinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 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.

Exploring the iceberg of errors in laboratory medicine

open access: yesClinica Chimica Acta, 2009
The last few decades have seen a significant decrease in the rates of analytical errors in clinical laboratories, and currently available evidence demonstrates that the pre- and post-analytical steps of the total testing process (TTP) are more error-prone than the analytical phase.

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.

Patient identification errors: The detective in the laboratory

Clinical Biochemistry, 2013
The eradication of errors regarding patients' identification is one of the main goals for safety improvement. As clinical laboratory intervenes in 70% of clinical decisions, laboratory safety is crucial in patient safety. We studied the number of Laboratory Information System (LIS) demographic data errors registered in our laboratory during one year ...
