Autoverification-based algorithms to detect preanalytical errors: Two examples

Clinical Biochemistry, 2023
The preanalytical phase of testing accounts for the majority of the errors. Software-based quality rules, such as autoverification, can assist in preanalytical error detection; therefore, preventing erroneous results from being reported. Two autoverification rules, turbidity/lipemia, and pseudohypoglycemia/pseudohyperkalemia alarms, are highlighted ...

Reduction of preanalytical errors in laboratory by establishment and application of training system

Journal of Evidence-Based Medicine, 2014
AbstractObjectivesErrors in preanalytical phase occupied for almost half of total errors in clinical laboratory, and the causes are related to medical staff's quality awareness and behaviors. In order to reduce the preanalytical errors in our hospital, we established and applied a training system to improve the situation.MethodsThe disqualified sample ...

The cost of poor blood specimen quality and errors in preanalytical processes

Clinical Biochemistry, 2013
The increase in the prevalence of medical errors represents a disturbing trend; hospital-based errors are the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. For the clinical laboratory, errors that occur in the preanalytical phase of testing may account for up to 75% of total laboratory errors; 26% of these may have detrimental effects on patient ...
