Where it usually breaks
And how to keep it from happening.
- A number without a consistent unit cannot be compared reliably. Agree metric and unit language before live entry.
- A note left in draft is not signed clinical documentation. Keep it visible in Unsigned notes.
- A specimen status should follow receipt and testing evidence. The accession reference helps staff match external lab information.
- The lot recorded for a dispensation should be checked against the package used, not inferred from a care note.
