Pre-analytical workstations: a tool for reducing laboratory errors.
Laboratory testing, a highly complex process commonly called the total testing process (TTP), is usually subdivided into three traditional (pre-, intra-, and post-) analytical phases. The majority of errors in TTP originate in the pre-analytical phase, being due to individual or system design defects. In order to reduce errors in TTP, the pre-analytical phase should therefore be prioritized. In...
متن کاملImproving Laboratory Results Turnaround Time By Reducing Pre Analytical Phase
Laboratory turnaround time is considered one of the most important indicators of work efficiency in hospitals, physicians always need timely results to take effective clinical decisions especially in the emergency department where these results can guide physicians whether to admit patients to the hospital, discharge them home or do further investigations. A retrospective data analysis study wa...
متن کاملPre-analytical errors management in the clinical laboratory: a five-year study
INTRODUCTION This study describes quality indicators for the pre-analytical process, grouping errors according to patient risk as critical or major, and assesses their evaluation over a five-year period. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive study was made of the temporal evolution of quality indicators, with a study population of 751,441 analytical requests made during the period 2007-2011. Th...
متن کاملPuzzle test: A tool for non-analytical clinical reasoning assessment
Most contemporary clinical reasoning tests typically assess non-automatic thinking. Therefore, a test is needed to measure automatic reasoning or pattern recognition, which has been largely neglected in clinical reasoning tests. The Puzzle Test (PT) is dedicated to assess automatic clinical reasoning in routine situations. This test has been introduced first in 2009 by Monajemi et al in the Oly...
متن کاملA study of pre-analytical variables in clinical biochemistry laboratory.
OBJECTIVES Pre-analytical error decisively influences the total error and consequently the diagnostic accuracy. The following were the objectives for the study: 1. To detect the percent of pre-analytical errors in clinical biochemistry laboratory. 2. To categorize these pre-analytical errors. 3. To formulate corrective measures to be taken to avoid such errors. DESIGN AND METHODS Study period...
