Objective
Attendees will explore how
laboratories prevent errors in order
to reduce the risk of harm
to patients.
Mitigating patient risk: expecting the unexpected
October 18, 2014 | Mohawk College, Hamilton, Ontario
Clinical laboratory technical staff members conduct a number of activities
that could be considered risk management in the day-to-day operations of a
laboratory. The performance of new tests is evaluated before use in patient care,
control sample failures are investigated for instrument and reagent problems,
and management responds to physician complaints. When incorrect results are
reported, the staff must determine and correct the cause in order to report the
correct results. If patients were treated based on incorrect results, management
must estimate the harm that occurred to the patient and take steps to prevent
similar incidents in the future. Risk management is not a new concept but a formal
description of activities that laboratories are already doing as part of their quality
assurance program to prevent errors and reduce harm to a patient.
