What is autoverification in a clinical laboratory context?

Autoverification means the lab results are released automatically to the clinician without a technologist reviewing them, as long as predefined safety checks are all passed. The key safeguards are that there are no critical results needing immediate notification, no abnormal results that require manual review, and no delta-check failures (which flag results that deviate unexpectedly from a patient’s prior results). When these conditions are met, the system can verify and release the result automatically. If any safety check is triggered, a technologist reviews the result before it’s released. This approach speeds up reporting while maintaining patient safety.
