Clinical Chemistry: Quality in Laboratory Diagnosis
Focuses comprehensively on the importance of quality and safety in laboratory diagnosis by detailing numerous potential sources of error. The content is organized around the preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical phases of testing, illustrating common mistakes with real-world case examples in areas like specimen collection and handling, point-of-care testing (POCT), toxicology, and the use of laboratory information systems (LIS). A central theme is the necessity of strict adherence to protocols and regulatory standards, such as CLIA and HIPAA, to ensure the accuracy of test results and, critically, to protect patient safety from errors like mislabeling, improper specimen storage, or incorrect interpretation of data displayed in the electronic medical record (EMR). The sources repeatedly stress the need for education, good communication, and continuous oversight from laboratory professionals and clinicians to minimize costly and harmful errors across all aspects of clinical chemistry and laboratory operations.
