Researchers from the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI) at Macquarie University have launched a five-year study to establish how technology can be used to reduce cases of incorrect and missed pathology test results in hospitals.

Led by the AIHI's Associate Professor Andrew Georgiou, the study is an international first and will be conducted by the AIHI in partnership with the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC), the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) and public pathology service South Eastern Area Laboratory Services (SEALS), part of NSW Health Pathology.
