This study explores how patient's laboratory result are accessed in pediatric emergency departments. The rapid turnaround of laboratory results and their timely access by the medical team are crucial for effective patient management and care decision-making. This study revealed a systematic access prioritization to the Electronic Health Record, led by physicians, followed by nurses, and then other healthcare staff Despite efforts to streamline access through computerized laboratory results, optimized laboratory turnaround time and integration of final results into the electronic health record remain key challenges. Delays in accessing analysis results issued by the central hospital laboratory are consistently experienced across various laboratory types, indicating broader systemic workflow issues rather than inefficiencies specific to individual laboratories.
本研究探讨了在儿科急诊部门中如何获取患者的实验室结果。实验室结果的快速周转和医疗团队的及时获取对于有效的患者管理和护理决策至关重要。本研究揭示了一种系统的电子病历访问优先级，由医生主导，其次是护士，然后是其他医护人员。尽管通过计算机化的实验室结果努力简化访问，但优化实验室周转时间和将最终结果整合到电子健康记录中仍然是关键挑战。各个实验室类型都一致经历了中央医院实验室发布的分析结果访问延迟，这表明存在更广泛的系统工作流程问题，而不是特定于个别实验室的效率低下问题。
