About This Program: This program describes why laboratory errors occur and outlines strong technology-based strategies for error reduction. Topics covered include: how organizations slowly drift into an error-prone condition; distinguishing weak from strong patient safety interventions in the clinical laboratory; examples of strong interventions, including automation, instrument consolidation, electronic medical records; and more!
Learning Objectives: At the end of this program you will be able to:
-
Define medical euphemisms and why they are bad for quality improvement.
-
Describe how organizations can slowly drift into an error-prone state.
-
Define cognitive versus non-cognitive errors and why these error classes determine what interventions to choose to reduce errors.
-
Given a particular class of laboratory errors, describe how a strong technology-based intervention would reduce or eliminate the error.
Level of Instruction: Basic
Suggested Audience: Hospital Administrators, Purchasing Directors, Lab Directors, Quality Assurance Directors, Infection Control Directors, Nursing Directors, Risk Management Directors, Safety Officers, Patient Services Directors
