Direct cost analysis for 32,783 samples with preanalytical phase errors
Errors in the laboratory process often occur in the preanalytical phase (PA). The study aims to calculate the direct cost elements of PA errors, including material, logistics, transfer, personnel workforce, and medical waste.Medical laboratory PA phase errors were retrospectively reviewed using the Laboratory Information Management System. We evaluated
