    This study simulated laboratory work schedules to reduce delays in sample processing. Optimizing laboratory workflows can significantly speed up the delivery of pathology results to clinicians.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Laboratory Management
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • Inefficient laboratory work schedules can lead to delays in sample processing and result reporting.
    • Timely delivery of pathology results is crucial for effective clinical decision-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficiency of different laboratory work schedules using a simulation program.
    • To identify a work schedule that accelerates the return of pathology results.

    Main Methods:

    • A simulation program was utilized to model and analyze laboratory workflows.
    • The number of days' delay for sample request forms was calculated for three distinct schedules.
    • Efficiency was assessed based on the turnaround time of pathology results.
