Abstract

Objectives: Improving Labconn software to make statistics the time of blood testing procedure at the laboratory. Methods: Setting up the statistical function of blood testing procedure’s time in Labconn software, including: the time of receiving blood sample, the time of receiving order, the time to do blood test, the time to valid result. We choosed 60 blood samples of outpatients and 20 blood samples of unemergency patients which be must to check slide or rerun to evaluate the accuracy of functions after updating the software. Results and conclusion: (1) Automatically warning samples at risk of delayed results (n = 60, rate of accuracy is 100%). (2) Setting up the item to check the status of samples: to determine where the sample is in real time. (n = 100, rate of accuracy is 100%). (3) the time of each stage in blood testing procedure is automatically displayed and collected in workplace screen when we make statistics in Labconn software (n = 60, rate of accuracy is 100%). (4) To display function button for selecting (rerun/ check slide) on workplace screen of Labconn software (n = 20, rate of accuracy is 100%).
