Abstract
While many areas of health care are still struggling with the issue of patient safety, laboratory diagnostics has always been a forerunner in pursuing this issue. Significant progress has been made since the release of “To Err is Human.”1 This article briefly reviews laboratory quality assessment and looks at recent statistics concerning laboratory errors.Keywords
