Definitions, sources and detection of laboratory error: a review. 1976

M S Sealfon

Laboratory error has been estimated to occur in one to three percent of test results. Previous studies have identified common sources of laboratory-induced error. Methods of quality assurance are suggested to identify such errors and reduce the possibility of their reaching the physician. Present systems for monitoring quality assurance do not adequately detect biological and pharmacological errors.
