Medical errors: Pre-analytical issue in patient safety [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2010 The last few decades have seen a significant decrease in the rates of analytical errors in clinical laboratories, while a growing body of evidence demonstrates that the pre and post-analytical steps of the total testing process (TTP) are more error-prone

Quality indicators to detect pre-analytical errors in laboratory testing
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2014 The identification of reliable quality indicators (QIs) is a crucial step in enabling users to quantify the quality of laboratory services. The current lack of attention to extra-laboratory factors is in stark contrast to the body of evidence pointing to the multitude of errors that continue to occur, particularly in the pre-analytical phase.

Pre-analytical specimen labelling and processing errors in the ICU
University of Ottawa Journal of Medicine, 2022 Introduction: Specimen rejections have been associated with increased in-hospital stay and cost. The majority of errors occur in the pre-analytic phase. Specimen rejection can lead to high rate of recollection, delay in result availability, and high rate

Pre-analytical errors in the phlebotomy process in a national hospital in Lima [PDF]
International Journal of ADVANCED AND APPLIED SCIENCES, 2022 Errors in the clinical laboratory are very frequent, most of which are mostly during the pre-analytical phase. That is why this research work proposes the identification of pre-analytical errors in the external office area of the Dos de Mayo National Hospital.

A New Method for the Prevention of Pre-Analytical Errors due to Hemolysis: Intensive Training [PDF]
Clinical Laboratory, 2016 Our aim was to compare the routine training (RT) method with the intensive training (IT) method, described for the first time by our group, for preventing pre-analytical errors in induced hemolysis.At two months, either RT or IT methods were introduced, and data collected in the second two months were compared with the initial two months to assess ...
