Traditionally, results verification depends on mental algorithms that are performed by Doctors and medical technologists on a single or group of analytical results. The purpose is to identify potential errors before releasing results. Preanalytical, analytical, and postanalytical data are used in this process.
Autoverification is a process whereby computer-based algorithms automatically perform actions on a defined subset of laboratory results without the need for manual intervention by a laboratorian. The computer-based action could be the immediate verification of a result, repeat analysis, reflexive testing, addition of comments, or suggested manual steps including manual review of the result. Autoverification ensures that every result consistently receives the very same review process. Additionally, computer-based autoverification algorithms provide the opportunity to develop more sophisticated algorithms that incorporate more extensive data than would be possible for a laboratorian to perform in a consistent, timely, and accurate manner.

Steps of Auto Validation procedure once a result is transmitted from automated analyzer or edited

1- On line control check
2- Online check of complete analyzer status
3- On line last result comparison for the analyzed test. (delta check)
4- Checking of results compliance with medical rules ( currently 450+ rule applied) and checking results with same patient results in different lab departments.
