Lean six sigma process improvement in specimen receiving to improve stat chemistry turnaround times
Objective: As a consequence of stat turnaround times (TATs) chronically exceeding 60 minutes, our laboratory was facing pressure to divert limited resources toward the implementation of an emergency department satellite laboratory. Peer-reviewed literature in clinical laboratory quality assurance and improvement indicates that between 60-70% of errors occur at the pre-analytical level. Thus...
متن کاملApplying lean techniques to improve the patient scheduling process.
A patient's access to healthcare resources often begins with scheduling an appointment with a medical doctor or other provider. An inefficient scheduling system leads to unnecessary delays in providing care for patients and frustration for referring physicians. We used the tools of lean thinking to evaluate our current scheduling system, remove wasteful processes and procedures, and implement a...

متن کاملUtilizing microarray spot characteristics to improve cross-species hybridization results.
Cross-species hybridization (CSH), i.e., the hybridization of a (target) species RNA to a DNA microarray that represents another (reference) species, is often used to study species diversity. However, filtration of CSH data has to be applied to extract valid information. We present a novel approach to filtering the CSH data, which utilizes spot characteristics (SCs) of image-quantification data...
