Abstract

Objective: Modular workcells could be a better solution than total laboratory automation (TLA) in hemostasis laboratories. Here, we evaluated the impact of implementing a modular workcell (HemoCell) with an intelligent data management facility (HemoHub).

Methods: We compared the turnaround times (TATs), numbers of rerun samples, and rerun times pre- and postimplementation of the HemoCell at Gil Medical Center. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), D-dimer, and fibrinogen were evaluated.

Results: The TAT standard deviations (SDs) and maximum TAT values decreased after HemoCell implementation, although the mean TATs for PT, aPTT, and D-dimer were increased. Numbers of rerun samples were increased (18.1/day vs 44.7/day). However, rerun times were reduced, and SDs were decreased during the post-HemoCell period compared with pre-HemoCell. Additionally, technologists needed smaller working space and less labor.

Conclusion: The modular workcell could improve quality and efficiency by providing more consistent TATs and shorter rerun times in the hemostasis laboratory.

短期(6周)三级医院止血测试模块化工作单元的经验，包括智能数据管理器。

目的:模块化工作细胞比全实验室自动化(TLA)更好地解决止血实验室的工作问题。在这里，我们评估了采用模块化工作单元(HemoCell)和智能数据管理设施(hemhub)的影响。方法:我们比较了吉尔医疗中心血液细胞补充前后的周转时间(TATs)、回流样品数量和回流时间。测定凝血酶原时间(PT)、活化部分凝血活酶时间(aPTT)、d -二聚体和纤维蛋白原。结果:在HemoCell植入后，TAT标准差(SDs)和最大TAT值降低，但PT、aPTT和d -二聚体的平均TAT值升高。重新运行样本的数量增加(18.1/天vs 44.7/天)。然而，与hemocell前相比，重新运行时间减少，SDs在hemocell后期间减少。此外，技术人员需要更小的工作空间和更少的劳动力。结论:模块化工作细胞可提供更一致的TATs和更短的循环时间，提高了止血实验室的质量和效率。
