Is Autoverification of Reports a Need of the Hour in Clinical Chemistry Laboratory? A Descriptive Observational Study | Chapter 12 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 17

 Background: To deal with the challenges of fewer workers and faster response times, clinical laboratories must streamline the report distribution method. This can be performed in the clinical chemistry laboratory by adopting an autoverification system.

• Determine the percentage of tests or sample load that is autoverifiable.

• To determine the delta check for the tests that have been completed.

• To weigh the benefits and drawbacks of autoverification.

Materials and Methods: From April 15 to July 15, 2016, samples in the Clinical Chemistry laboratory of S.S.G Hospital & Medical College Vadodara were subjected to a descriptive observational study. At the conclusion of the day, all reports were analysed, and the proportion of autoverifiable reports was calculated.

Results and observations: In our laboratory, the percentage of autoverifiable reports ranged from 71% to 89 percent for various parameters. (proportion)

Conclusion: While autoverification is a time-consuming process, the end result is well worth the effort. Autoverification is significantly faster than manual verification performed by professional laboratory medical biochemists when correctly linked into a laboratory information system. Because all test results go through the same process before being issued, autoverification not only speeds up the process but also ensures that test results are verified consistently.
