To determine the turn-around time in a microbiology laboratory a survey form was designed to collect data on the origin and type of specimen and the dates and times when (i) the sample was taken; (ii) the specimen was received in the laboratory; (iii) the report was signed by the microbiologist; (iv) the report was sorted by the laboratory clerical staff; and (v) the final report was received on the ward. The cumulative time from sampling to a result arriving on the ward was 51.5 (SD 28.6) hours. The survey is a simple method of determining turn-around time and high-lighted minor deficiencies in the service which were easily rectified.
为了确定微生物实验室的周转时间，设计了一份调查问卷，以收集有关样本来源和类型以及以下时间的日期和时间的数据：（i）采集样本的时间；（ii）样本送达实验室的时间；（iii）微生物学家签署报告的时间；（iv）实验室文书人员整理报告的时间；以及（v）病房收到最终报告的时间。从采样到病房收到结果的累计时间为51.5（标准差28.6）小时。该调查是确定周转时间的一种简单方法，突出了服务中易于纠正的一些小缺陷。
