The Throughput Report is a computer program used to objectively measure and monitor the turnaround time of stat laboratory tests. It allows the clinical pathologist to recognize laboratory turnaround time problems prospectively. The main features are (1) a summary of the number of specimens received, accessioned, and performed per hour; (2) a histogram of the mean turnaround time per hour; (3) an overdue list of all tests taking longer than expected. Utilization of this report has decreased the percent of stat biochemical analyses taking 60 minutes or more by nearly one-half. The usefulness of the many graphic displays of work flow through the laboratory for monitoring turnaround time is discussed in detail.
通量报告是一个用于客观测量和监测急诊实验室检测周转时间的计算机程序。它使临床病理学家能够前瞻性地识别实验室周转时间问题。其主要功能包括：（1）每小时接收、登记和完成的标本数量汇总；（2）每小时平均周转时间的直方图；（3）所有检测时间超过预期的逾期清单。该报告的使用已使耗时60分钟或更长时间的急诊生化分析比例降低了近一半。本文详细讨论了实验室工作流程的多种图形显示在监测周转时间方面的作用。
