CLSI AUTO14
Use of 2-Dimensional Bar Coding in Clinical and Anatomic Pathology Laboratories
Linear bar codes currently used in laboratories have high error rates that may pose a risk to patient safety if a patient is misidentified, or an incorrect test is performed. CLSI AUTO14 | Use of 2-Dimensional Bar Coding in Clinical and Anatomic Pathology Laboratories provides context and a framework for the use of 2-dimensional (2D) bar codes in clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories, with the long-term goal of replacing linear bar codes currently in use.
Laboratory professionals will learn how to:
- Specify the data content of the code.
- Determine how codes are to be printed and decoded.
- Define how the content is to be used.
The guideline also includes information for users on implementing CLSI AUTO14.

The long-term goal of CLSI AUTO14 is to replace linear bar codes currently in use in laboratories. The current linear bar codes are known to have unacceptably high error rates and could lead to significant patient safety issues, such as misidentified patients and incorrect tests. CLSI AUTO14 specifies a particular 2D symbology that meets requirements. CLSI AUTO14 specifies the data content of the code, how codes are to be printed and subsequently decoded, and how the content is to be used. Finally, there is a guide for users on how CLSI AUTO14 should be implemented.
