CLSI POCT07-P presents the core infrastructure for a risk management and standardized error tracking system for reducing risk at
the point of care, as well as for benchmarking purposes. Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute document POCT07-P--
Quality Management: Approaches to Reducing Errors at the Point of Care; Proposed Guideline proposes a set of indicators for
each analytical process for incorporation to a facility's quality program. It also presents the user with predefined common causes
of error and respective error prevention mechanisms for a more standardized reporting mechanism. POCT07-P encourages
institutions to base the defining of their own additional indicators on industry risk management procedures presented in this
document. An error tracking system represents endless possibilities for benchmarking and improvement at many levels, whether
in improvement in device design, more specific accreditation standards, or strictly point-of-care process improvement.
