Abstract:
Objective To master the actual work efficiency situation of emergency inspection,analyze the existing problems,and provide objective basis for continuous improvement through the statistic analysis of intra-laboratory turn-around time (TAT) median,coincidence rate of inspection report within the specified time limit,report timeout reasons and other indexes of different items of emergency inspection group in 2015.Methods All kinds of original data from the different items of emergency inspection groupswere derived from LIS system,according to the different types of projects in different segments.Microsoft Excel2003 software was used to count the actual TAT time of various items,and function was used to calculate TAT median;The non-conformance rate (inspection report timeout rate) and coincidence rate within the prescribed time limit by inspection report were calculated,and gather the statistical analysis on the timeout reasons of daily recorded report.Results With the exception of electrochemical luminescence class,the TAT of other items decreased in different degrees of emergency inspection group in 2015 when compared with 2014.The average coincidence rate of inspection report of various items within the time limit was 94.8%,non-conformance rate of inspection report of prescribed time limit was 5.2%.The top four inspection timeout reasons of various items were more number of submitted samples(59.6%),redo the reinspection (12.4%),smear reinspection (12.0%) and equipment failure (10.0%) in turn.Conclusion The time limit of the emergency report meets the specified requirements and statistical analysis of the causes of overtime can find out the problems and take appropriate measures to provide an objective basis for continuous improvement.
