Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates improved submission timeliness and specimen quality in hospitalized patients, suggesting enhanced patient safety.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop a closed-loop management system for improving body fluid specimen handling in hospitalized patients.
  • Established a multidisciplinary inpatient specimen management team to identify inefficiencies.
  • Implemented targeted interventions in February 2025 based on the team's analysis.
  • Compared preanalytical turnaround times and unqualified specimen rates before and after implementation.
  • Delayed submission rate decreased from 15.62% to 5.8%, p<0.05.
  • Unqualified specimen rate decreased from 0.70% to 0.39%, p<0.05.
  • Significant improvements were observed at 3 and 6 months post-intervention, p<0.05.
