The current article examines the modern practices of reducing errors in medical laboratories. The paper sought to examine the methods that different countries are applying to reduce errors in medical laboratories. In addition, the paper examines the relationship between inadequate training of laboratory personnel and error causation in medical laboratories. A total of 17 research articles have been reviewed. The paper has done a comparison of pathology laboratory practices in the US, Canada, the UK and Australia, regarding laboratory staff skills and error reduction. The paper finds out that; although some of the developed countries have employed advanced technology to reduce errors, there is still a great need to use sophisticated medical equipment to reduce errors. In addition, the levels of training for the medical technicians are still low. They are not equipped enough to reduce the errors to the required levels. The article recommends application of advanced technology in the reduction of errors, and training of technicians on the best practices to reduce errors.
当前这篇文章探讨了医学实验室减少差错的现代做法。该论文试图研究不同国家为减少医学实验室差错所采用的方法。此外，该论文还考察了实验室人员培训不足与医学实验室差错成因之间的关系。总共审查了17篇研究文章。该论文就实验室工作人员技能和减少差错方面，对美国、加拿大、英国和澳大利亚的病理实验室做法进行了比较。该论文发现，尽管一些发达国家已采用先进技术来减少差错，但仍非常需要使用精密医疗设备来减少差错。此外，医学技术人员的培训水平仍然较低。他们没有足够的能力将差错减少到所需水平。文章建议应用先进技术来减少差错，并就减少差错的最佳做法对技术人员进行培训。
