The Use of LIS-Interfaced Barcode Technology to Reduce Preanalytical Errors
Introduction Naval medical treatment facilities (MTFs) can adopt certain technologies to aid in reducing preanalytical errors. These errors threaten the quality of patient care by deferring its delivery or creating costly inefficiencies. The preanalytical process entails all procedures beginning from sample collection to when the sample can be analyzed by a processing laboratory (Lippi et al., 2013). Unsurprisingly, the bulk of preanalytical errors occur outside […]
