Description
It is estimated that between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths occur annually in the U.S. due to medical mistakes. This presentation will use a case study approach to examine how systems and processes in the blood bank and laboratory can affect patient outcomes. This presentation focuses on helping participants identify "near misses" and examine process changes that could reduce or eliminate the opportunity for error.
