Post-analytical ’error' rates in point-of-care testing: use of a quality assurance programme

Accreditation and Quality Assurance, 2001
Laboratory tests are subject to error, pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical. Post-analytical error includes misinterpretation of results. Point-of-care testing (POCT) can be subject to the same errors This study utilized an external quality assurance programme for capillary blood glucose and ’dipstick’ urinalysis to investigate post ...

Errors in Clinical Laboratories or Errors in Laboratory Medicine?

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 2006
Laboratory testing is a highly complex process and, although laboratory services are relatively safe, they are not as safe as they could or should be.

Patient Safety & Post-analytical Error

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2013
Post-analytical laboratory processes have been considered to be less prone to error than preanalytical processes because of the widespread adoption of laboratory automation and interfaced laboratory reporting. Quality monitors and controls for the post-analytical process have focused on critical result notification, meeting established turnaround time ...

Pre and post analytical errors

Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 1996
Laboratory data illustrative of preanalytical errors such as the effect of improper storage of sample, the type and concentration of anticoagulant used for specimen collection, the lability of an improperly preserved sample, and the effect of infusion are presented.

Pre and post analytical errors in lipid determination

Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 1996
A number of pre analytical variables affect lipid determinations. These include posture during blood sampling, the duration of tourniquet application and fasting, the time of day when blood is collected, the concentration and type of anticoagulant used for blood collection to name just a few.

Laboratory reporting of hemostasis assays: the final post-analytical opportunity to reduce errors of clinical diagnosis in hemostasis?

cclm, 2009
Abstract The advent of modern instrumentation, with associated improvements in test performance and reliability, together with appropriate internal quality control (IQC) and external quality assurance (EQA) measures, has led to substantial reductions in analytical errors within hemostasis laboratories.
