Molecular Auditing: An Evaluation of Unsuspected Tissue Specimen Misidentification.

Archives of pathology & laboratory medicine - 1 Nov 2018

Demetrick Douglas J

Abstract excerpt

CONTEXT.—: Specimen misidentification is the most significant error in laboratory medicine, potentially accounting for hundreds of millions of dollars in extra health care expenses and significant morbidity in patient populations in the United States alone. New technology allows the unequivocal documentation of specimen misidentification or contamination; however, the value of this technology currently depends on...
