    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of automation in the preanalytical phase.
    • Reorganization of laboratory workspace layout.
    • Utilization of data management systems for sample verification.
    • Establishment of strict criteria to limit nonautomated processes.

    Main Results:

    • Significant improvements in laboratory efficiency were achieved.
    • Automation and workspace reorganization streamlined workflows.
    • Data management systems effectively identified samples requiring verification.
    • Reduced reliance on nonautomated processes led to faster turnaround times.

    Conclusions:

    • Automation of the preanalytical process is a key strategy for enhancing hematology laboratory efficiency.
    • Integrated approaches involving workspace design, data management, and process standardization yield substantial operational benefits.
    • These improvements contribute to more reliable and timely diagnostic services.
