Hospital Must Repeat Blood Tests on Nearly 1,000 Patients

New York's State Health Department has ordered Bronx-Lebanon Hospital, of the Bronx, to retest 920 patients whose blood was drawn for testing on certain days between April 17, 2008 and Dec. 3, 2008, because some results for patients tested on those days were reported to the wrong patients. The mix-ups, which apparently occurred because of labeling errors, came to light in 2008 when six patients reported receiving the wrong test results, indicating that other people tested on the days those six were seen may also have received the wrong results. The health department has instructed the hospital to perform a root cause analysis to identify steps in the process in which errors could have occurred, so that they can be prevented in future.
