Tracing Missing Surgical Specimens: A Quality Improvement Strategy for Adverse Events Based on Root Cause Analysis by Huang LL, Yang JH, Hong WW, Wang BL, Chen HF

“…Key failures identified included unclear role delineation among staff, inadequate specimen labeling protocols, and lack of real-time tracking mechanisms. Three interventions were implemented: (1) Redesigning specimen handling workflows with explicit role responsibilities; (2) Developing standardized, color-coded specimen bottles and racks to improve visual identification; (3) Integrating an electronic tracking system for closed-loop management of specimens.Results: Post-intervention, the recognition rate of post-use specimen vials improved from 0% to 100% after implementing a dual-color sealing system (white cap with red ring), enabling visual confirmation of proper sealing. …”
