CLSI POCT07-P

CLSI POCT07-P presents the core infrastructure for a risk management and standardized error tracking system for reducing risk atthe point of care, as well as for benchmarking purposes. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document POCT07-P–Quality Management: Approaches to Reducing Errors at the Point of Care; Proposed Guideline proposes a set of indicators foreach analytical process for incorporation to a facility’s quality program. It also presents the user with predefined common causesof error and respective error prevention mechanisms for a more standardized reporting mechanism. POCT07-P encouragesinstitutions to base the defining of their own additional indicators on industry risk management procedures presented in thisdocument. An error tracking system represents endless possibilities for benchmarking and improvement at many levels, whetherin improvement in device design, more specific accreditation standards, or strictly point-of-care process improvement.
