Abstract

Extra-analytical automation is of critical importance in patient safety with respect to accurate, fast test result reporting. Through the previous decades, significant im provements in laboratory errors have been achieved by technological facilities, which have become a substantial part of the reduction of preventable diagnostic errors. In clinical laboratory practice, the total testing process (TTP) is under the effect of error sources: preanalytical, analytical, and post-analytical variables. Since many ex tra-analytical processes within and outside the clinical laboratory may be automated, management of the extra analytical phase can prevent errors, resulting in the total quality of laboratory diagnostics and customer satisfac tion. The automation technologies have added a serious impact on the proficiency of clinical laboratories. To improve standardization, organization, efficiency, and quality of TTP, many manual tasks have now been partially or entirely automated by labor-saving in strumentations. The implementation of extra-analytical automation in the laboratory processes has recently made them standardized and manageable. Depending on the workload and workflow of the clinical laboratory, it is of critical importance to implement adequate systems, providing standardization of the TTP and resulting in high-quality test results.

Özet

kstra analitik otomasyon, doğru, hızlı test sonucu rapor laması açısından hasta güvenliğinde kritik önem taşır. Son otuz-kırk yıldır, teknolojik imkânlarla laboratuvar hata larında önemli iyileşmeler sağlanmıştır. Bu teknolojiler önlenebilir teşhis hatalarının azaltılmasının önemli bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Klinik laboratuvar uygulama sında, toplam test süreci (TTP) şu hata kaynaklarının etkisi altındadır: Preanalitik, analitik ve postanalitik değiş kenler. Klinik laboratuvar içinde ve dışında birçok işlem otomatize edilebildiğinden, ekstra-analitik aşamanın yönetimi, hataları önleyebilir; bu da laboratuvar teşhi sinde toplam kaliteyi ve müşteri memnuniyetini sağlar. Otomasyon teknolojileri, klinik laboratuvarların yeterliliği üzerinde ciddi bir etki yaratmıştır. TTP’nin stand ardizasyonunu, organizasyonunu, verimliliğini ve kalite sini iyileştirmek için, birçok manuel işlem, iş gücünden tasarruf sağlayan cihazlarla artık kısmen veya tamamen otomatize edilmiştir. Laboratuvar süreçlerinde ekstra analitik otomasyon uygulaması, son zamanlarda bunları standardize ve yönetilebilir hale getirmiştir. Klinik labo ratuvarın iş yüküne ve iş akışına bağlı olarak, uygun sis temlerin kurulması, kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu da TTP’nin standardizasyonunu ve yüksek kaliteli test sonuçlarını sağlar.
