Verification of results is the final and vital step before it becomes visible to the requester (clinical colleagues). This provides an opportunity to check for any errors that has slipped in the earlier stages and also initiate a discussion with the clinics about the pathological values. Switching from manual to auto validation of results, therefore, requires a great deal of planning and routine inspection. This concept, though 20 years old [2], is currently being adopted in Indian laboratories in the last four to five years. The AUTO10-a document from the CSLI gives an overarching guideline [3]. Implementation requires a preplanning stage, formation of dedicated teams, development of computer logic, validation and verification of the system, maintenance of the AV system, risk management protocols, and regular audits. Here, we describe the implementation and achievements in our hospital-based laboratory.Englishhttps://apfcb.org/APFCB_News/abstract?id=29References16191.
