CLSI AUTO14
Use of 2-Dimensional Bar Coding in Clinical and Anatomic Pathology Laboratories
CLSI AUTO14 provides a context and framework for the use of 2-dimensional bar codes in clinical and anatomic pathology laboratories. The long-term goal of CLSI AUTO14 is to replace linear bar codes currently in use in laboratories, because they are known to have unacceptably high error rates that could lead to significant patient safety issues, such as misidentified patients and incorrect tests.

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.
