Abstract (English):	Clinical laboratories are a vital component of health services because they approach to patients throughout the entire care process. However, the real impact of laboratory errors on patient safety is unknown, because there is little research and records about errors that occur in the total analysis process of laboratories in Mexico. Compliance with the essential actions for patient safety stated by Mexican government, leads us to analyze the degree to which we can cover the patient's safety requirements with the Official Mexican Regulations, to detect opportunities for improvement and ensure the safety of patients using laboratory diagnostic services. In this review, a compilation of the most frequent types of laboratory errors in the literature, proposals to address them and some strategies to promote the culture of patient safety in clinical laboratories in Mexico are presented.

Abstract (Spanish):	Los laboratorios clínicos son un componente vital de los servicios de salud, pues abordan a los pacientes durante todo el proceso de atención. No obstante, el impacto real de los errores del laboratorio en la seguridad del paciente es desconocido, debido a que existe escasa investigación y registros sobre los errores que suceden en el proceso total de análisis de los laboratorios en México. El cumplimiento de la NOM-007-SSA3-2011 permite garantizar el cumplimiento de las Acciones esenciales para la seguridad del paciente, aunque es necesario implementar actividades adicionales para prevenir errores y coadyuvar en el proceso de medicación segura. En esta revisión se muestra un panorama sobre la situación de la seguridad del paciente en los laboratorios clínicos de México y se proponen estrategias para abordar los errores de laboratorio y fomentar la cultura de seguridad del paciente.
