IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND HANDLING
QUALITY SPECIMENS = QUALITY RESULTS
Diagnosis Treatment Monitoring Laboratory results constitute 70% of the
objective information for health-care providers

IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND HANDLING
Specimen Integrity Laboratory guidelines
Never hesitate to check with laboratory
Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA, 1988) Laboratory is responsible

IMPORTANCE OF CORRECT SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND HANDLING
Preanalytical Factors 56% of lab errors occur before the
specimen is tested Monitoring of specimen ordering Patient identification Patient communication and safety Patient preparation Timing of collections Collection technique Specimen labeling Specimen handling and transport
