TAT Quality Monitors

Stat ABSC completed <60 mins from specimen receipt in the LIS system.

We do not have TAT defined for Cord Blood Testing other than the neonatologists want results within 10 hours of time of birth.

A true trauma stat (not a drama trauma) is 60 minutes for ABSC and 35 minutes for ABO, from receipt in lab.  All other stats are 65 minutes for both.

We batch our cord bloods and do them every 4 hours.  The nursery has it in their brain that it must be completed by then in order to treat the baby accordingly.  Of course, when they don't send it down for 3 hours and miss our run time, they get mad at us.

For true traumas - 1 hour from receipt in laboratory.

Cord bloods are batched and run at least once per shift except for night shift who are exempt from doing cords. I only require them to be done once on day shift and evening shift, but a lot of time they are performed 2 or 3 times depending on the number of specimens.
