Improving Laboratory Results Turnaround Time By Reducing Pre Analytical Phase
Laboratory turnaround time is considered one of the most important indicators of work efficiency in hospitals, physicians always need timely results to take effective clinical decisions especially in the emergency department where these results can guide physicians whether to admit patients to the hospital, discharge them home or do further investigations. A retrospective data analysis study wa...
متن کاملManaging laboratory automation
This paper discusses the process of managing automated systems through their life cycles within the quality-control (QC) laboratory environment. The focus is on the process of directing and managing the evolving automation of a laboratory; system examples are given. The author shows how both task and data systems have evolved, and how they interrelate. A BIG picture, or continuum view, is prese...
متن کاملTotal Laboratory Automation and Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization–Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry Improve Turnaround Times in the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory: a Retrospective Analysis
Technological advances have changed the practice of clinical microbiology. We implemented Bruker matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and BD Kiestra total laboratory automation (TLA) 4 and 3 years ago, respectively. To assess the impact of these new technologies, we compared turnaround times (TATs) for positive and negative urine cultures b...
متن کاملNational survey on intra-laboratory turnaround time for some most common routine and stat laboratory analyses in 479 laboratories in China
INTRODUCTION To investigate the state of the art of intra-laboratory turnaround time (intra-TAT), provide suggestions and find out whether laboratories accredited by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 15189 or College of American Pathologists (CAP) will show better performance on intra-TAT than non-accredited ones. MATERIALS AND METHODS 479 Chinese clinical laboratories part...
متن کاملEvaluation of the impact of a total automation system in a large core laboratory on turnaround time.
BACKGROUND Growing financial and workload pressures on laboratories coupled with user demands for faster turnaround time (TAT) has steered the implementation of total laboratory automation (TLA). The current study evaluates the impact of a complex TLA on core laboratory efficiency through the analysis of the In-lab to Report TAT (IR-TAT) for five representative tests based on the different requ...
