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 the 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 the next steps to resolve or prevent the errors or omissions?
