CLSI POCT07 Abstract

This document presents the core infrastructure for a risk management and standardized error tracking system for reducing risk at the point of care, as well as for benchmarking purposes. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document POCT07-A—Quality Management: Approaches to Reducing Errors at the Point of Care; Approved Guideline proposes a set of indicators for each analytical process for incorporation into a point-of-care quality program. It also presents the user with predefined common causes of error and respective error prevention mechanisms for a more standardized reporting mechanism. POCT07-A encourages institutions to define their own additional indicators based on industry risk management procedures presented in this document. An error tracking system can also offer possibilities for benchmarking and improvement of point-of-care processes.
