Abstract

INTRODUCTION. Pre-analysis is a process where 71,0% of errors made in the clinical laboratory, due to the existence of factors such as: lack of automation and intervention of own personnel and other personnel non-related to the service, which render the process vulnerable. OBJECTIVE: To identify, define and standardize preanalytic sub processes, based on ISO 15189:2012 standard, identify and pilot the application of harmonized indicators as elements of continuous quality improvement. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Observational-descriptive study where the current preanalytical process and its sub processes were identified; they were standardized prior to piloting, defining the indicators in the Clinical Pathology Technical Unit of the Hospital de Especialidades Carlos Andrade Marín of the city Quito, Ecuador in the period from June to December 2018. RESULTS. The standardized pre-analytic processes were: Customer service, Identification and generation of codes, Sampling, Transportation Internal preservation, separation and distribution of samples; and, Reference and counter reference with their corresponding procedures and the indicator board. CONCLUSION. To use the accreditation standard ISO15189:2012 to identify and standardize pre-analytic sub-processes, will allow the continuous improvement of the quality management of the hospital laboratory of high complexity in its level or productivity.
