The problem
Laboratory turnaround is usually measured from the moment the sample reaches the bench, which excludes the two intervals where most of the delay lives: order to collection, and validation to publication.
A result that is technically fast and clinically late has not helped the patient.
Core workflow
Specimen to publication.
01
Order
Clinical order with priority and specimen requirements.
02
Collection
Barcoded collection at the point of care, timed.
03
Receipt
Acceptance, rejection criteria and aliquoting.
04
Analysis
Analyser interface, quality control and repeats.
05
Validation
Reference ranges, deltas and critical-value rules.
06
Publication
Result to the record, the clinician and the patient portal.
