What if "human error" isn't actually the root cause?

Many laboratory investigations end with the conclusion that someone made a mistake. In reality, errors often reveal weaknesses in processes, communication, staffing, technology, or workflow, not just individual performance.

Strong corrective action goes beyond fixing the immediate problem. It uncovers why the event occurred and helps build a more reliable system.

In our latest article written by Dr. Darryl Elzie, we explore root cause analysis and practical strategies for creating lasting improvements in laboratory quality.
