Specimens provide a crucial chain of evidence in the practice of medicine. Unfortunately, labeling errors and lost specimens do occur, unleashing a host of downstream challenges including delayed or incorrect treatment.
In the podcast, guests from the Department of Nursing describe their efforts to reduce specimen errors in a Mayo Clinic surgical practice. They discuss how their efforts, using DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) methodology and other quality improvement techniques, significantly reduced specimen errors and discuss key learnings being shared with other surgical practices at Mayo Clinic.
