Evaluating stat testing options in an academic health center: therapeutic turnaround time and staff satisfaction.
We compared centralized vs distributed methods for delivering "stat" test results for blood gas, glucose, and electrolyte assays. The parameters for comparison were as follows: (a) laboratory turnaround time (TAT), (b) therapeutic TAT, and (c) staff satisfaction. Therapeutic TAT, defined as the time from the initiating order to the receipt of the result and the implementation of any indicated c...
متن کاملDoes Elimination of a Laboratory Sample Clotting Stage Requirement Reduce Overall Turnaround Times for Emergency Department Stat Biochemical Testing?
INTRODUCTION Laboratory turnaround times (TAT) influence length of stay for emergency department (ED) patients. We studied biochemistry TATs around the implementation of a plasma separating tube (PST) that omitted a 20-minute clotting step in processing when compared to the standard serum separating tubes (SST). METHODS We compared laboratory TATs using PST vs SST in a prospective before-an...
متن کاملAdditional technician tasks and turnaround time in the clinical Stat laboratory
INTRODUCTION Many additional tasks in the Stat laboratory (SL) increase the workload. It is necessary to control them because they can affect the service provided by the laboratory. Our aim is to calculate these tasks, study their evolution over a 10 year period, and compare turnaround times (TAT) in summer period to the rest of the year. MATERIALS AND METHODS Additional tasks were classified...
متن کاملImproving theatre turnaround time
The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement has determined that a £7 million saving can be achieved per trust by improving theatre efficiency. The aim of this quality improvement project was to improve orthopaedic theatre turnaround without compromising the patient safety. We process mapped all the stages from application of dressing to knife to skin on the next patient in order to identif...
متن کاملusing fuzzy knowledge of a nuisance parameter for hypothesis testing
the problem of hypothesis testing with a nuisance parameter is considered. two methods forusing fuzzy knowledge on the nuisance parameter to test hypotheses are suggested. these methods areneither a pure classical nor a pure bayesian approach to hypothesis testing, but rather related to both. afew known examples and their applications, which cannot be studied by the parametric statisticalmethod...
