Preanalytical quality improvement – in quality we trust
Total quality in laboratory medicine should be defined as the guarantee that each activity throughout the total testing process is correctly performed, providing valuable medical decision-making and effective patient care. In the past decades, a 10-fold reduction in the analytical error rate has been achieved thanks to improvements in both reliability and standardization of analytical technique...
متن کاملPreanalytical quality improvement. In pursuit of harmony, on behalf of European Federation for Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) Working group for Preanalytical Phase (WG-PRE).
Laboratory diagnostics develop through different phases that span from test ordering (pre-preanalytical phase), collection of diagnostic specimens (preanalytical phase), sample analysis (analytical phase), results reporting (postanalytical phase) and interpretation (post-postanalytical phase). Although laboratory medicine seems less vulnerable than other clinical and diagnostic areas, the chanc...
متن کاملPreanalytical quality improvement: from dream to reality.
Abstract Laboratory diagnostics (i.e., the total testing process) develops conventionally through a virtual loop, originally referred to as "the brain to brain cycle" by George Lundberg. Throughout this complex cycle, there is an inherent possibility that a mistake might occur. According to reliable data, preanalytical errors still account for nearly 60%-70% of all problems occurring in laborat...
متن کاملQuality Assurance in the Preanalytical Phase
The preanalytical phase includes a set of processes that are difficult to define because they take place in different places and at different times. Classically, the preanalytical phase included all processes from the time a laboratory request is made by a physician until the sample is ready for testing. While this definition is very informative, errors that occur at this stage often become app...
متن کاملHarmonizacija u predanalitičkoj fazi
Harmonization encompasses all efforts made in a search for differences in policies and procedures and minimizing these. Since it reduces variability and errors, harmonization certainly leads to the quality improvement in every system. During the 3rd EFLM-BD European Conference on Preanalytical Phase held during 20 – 21 March in Porto (Portugal), representatives of many member societies of Europ...
