In the first section of this thesis, the theoritical, we deal with the definitions given to the term “Turnaroundtime TAT” from 1989 since today. It’s a new measurement indicator of effectiveness and efficacy, especially in the case of the Emergency Department, where the patient needs immediate treatment. Being more accurate, we emphasize on “Laboratory Turnaroundtime” of the Biochemical Laboratory to the Emergency Department of a Hospital and we study the time intervals it consists of and the factors it’s affected.
In the second section, the empirical, two data sets of June and July of 2019 are processed, the one coming from the four automatic immunobio-chemical Dimension EXL analytes and the other from the Computer programm LIS, with which the Biochemical Department of General National Hospital of Nikaia-Piraeus is equipped. The suitable combination of the two data sets gives us the ability to estimate the Laboratory Turn-aroundtime LTAT to the Emergency Depar-tment and compare it with the International Standards, to invstigate the kind of LTAT data distribution and to locate the factors LTAT is affect through regressions by STATA.
Finally doing a total review of the results of the empirical section of this thesis, we suggest ways of LTAT and TAT reduction, lightly affecting the whole running of work concerning the corporation between the doctors of the Emergency Department and the doctors-scientists of the Biochemical Laboratory or generally speaking of the Laboratory Department.
