Lab Medicine Highlight: Identifying and Reducing Errors in the Preanalytical Phase

Reducing errors in the preanalytical phase is difficult, which suggests the issue may be multidimensional. As such, qualitative research may be truly innovative in this context. We carried out a descriptive study using a qualitative method incorporating four focus groups. Check out this article, Integrating Research Techniques to Improve Quality and Safety in the Preanalytical Phase, in the May 2018 issue of Lab Medicine to learn how Adolfo Romero, PhD, and his colleagues carried out a descriptive study using a qualitative method incorporating four focus groups.
