Minimizing pre-analytical and post-analytical errors to enhance the accuracy and reliability of hematological diagnosis involves implementing specific strategies and quality control measures in clinical laboratories.
Preventing pre-analytical and post-analytical errors can be achieved through comprehensive staff training, the integration of advanced laboratory automation technologies such as modern robotics and information systems, the implementation of computerized order entry systems, and the automation of tasks like phlebotomy tray preparation. The utilization of barcoding systems further simplifies specimen routing and tracking processes.
