CONGRESS 2023 - Improving preanalytical processes and removing system waste
Understanding your laboratories baseline data is the most important first step to identify where to improve services. Data is key to understanding preanalytical processes, simple things such as the location of phlebotomy clinics, the timings of transport collections, the number of paper requests all have an impact on specimen reception workflows and specimen turnaround times. Many labs still continue to measure a specimen's turnaround time from the moment it arrives at the lab, which is too late. We will demonstrate how data modelling and innovative transport solutions will improve system workflows, reduce specimen rejections, smooth out specimen arrivals, reduce the output of CO2 and meet the preanalytical quality requirements for your next UKAS inspection.
