Laboratory labeling solutions significantly impact the quality of care healthcare providers give patients. According to a study of 120 healthcare institutions, nearly 56% of identification errors in the lab were caused by specimen labeling errors. High-quality laboratory labeling solutions facilitate accurate diagnoses and proper treatments for the correct patients. However, ineffective laboratory labels can cause any number of repercussions: Diagnostic errors • Wrong treatments • Misidentified specimens • Redraw costs • Reduced productivity • Risks to patient safety • Litigation • Lost samples that can’t be redrawn, such as biopsy tissue.
In addition to impacting patient care, misidentified specimens can incur costs of approximately $280,000 per million specimens, with redraws, retesting, and additional treatment costing $400 million annually. Healthcare providers face enough challenges on a day-to-day basis. Laboratory labels should be the last thing they need to be concerned about.
Zebra labeling solutions meet CLSI AUTO12-A standards
The Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) developed AUTO12-A standards to prevent specimens in clinical laboratories from being mislabeled. AUTO12-A standards specify label sizes, and locations and formats for data required to be human-readable, such as a patient’s name. The standards also specify how to truncate long patient names, location and size of barcodes on labels, orientation of labels on specimen tubes, and other requirements.
