From patient to analysis
Enable participants to understand, monitor and secure the pre-analytical pathway, from the test request through to the provision of a compliant specimen for the analytical phase.
Master the pre-analytical pathway from A to Z, from the test request through to the provision of the specimen.
- define the boundaries of the pre-analytical phase
- reconstruct the pathway of a specimen
- identify the interfaces between workstations
- understand the consequences of a pre-analytical error
- check the test request and the patient’s identity
- check the identification, container, volume and condition of the specimen
- check the turnaround time and transport conditions
- recognise a non-compliant specimen
- identify the information that must be recorded
- document the different steps
- ensure continuity of information
- report an anomaly or a non-conformity
- apply a procedure and use a checklist
- prioritise actions
- communicate effectively with the other people involved in the process
