The comprehensive Laboratory testing process must be continually monitored and evaluated to ensure reliable test results and set the foundation for quality improvement. While such efforts have resulted in significant improvements in many of the processes, errors still occur. In order to implement corrections and improve the testing process, the laboratorian must identify the various sources of errors. Laboratory testing can be divided into 3 phases as described in Table Error IdentificationA common assumption is that errors are most likely to occur in the analytical phase, the component of Laboratory testing considered the most complex.
