PURPOSE:
Test result reports should be complete, accurate, legible, and clinically valid. In this activity, participants cross-check a test report to identify errors and omissions that must be resolved before the report is released.
KEY MESSAGES:
- A cross-check provides a quality step to review accuracy and reliability of results prior to release.
- Each test request should have a corresponding result that is accurate and clinically meaningful.
- Laboratory errors and omissions are best handled prior to their release from the laboratory. However the most efficient way to handle errors is to prevent their initial occurrence.
SELF ASSESSMENT:
Can you:
- Cross-check a laboratory report identifying errors and omissions?
- Provide next steps to resolve or prevent the errors or omissions?
