Aim of the webinar
Through a series of antibody identification cases, Jan Hamilton examined how assumptions and cognitive bias can influence laboratory decision-making. Participants were able to review the investigation process, identify where errors occurred, and discuss evidence-based approaches to improve antibody identification and problem-solving in routine practice.
