Abstract

Turnaround time (TAT) merupakan tolak ukur mutu kinerja laboratorium medik. TAT prokalsitonin tidak mampu mencapai target TAT yang ditetapkan laboratorium. Tujuan: mengkaji tahap keterlambatan TAT, melakukan upaya perbaikan, dan mengevaluasi upaya perbaikan. Metode: Penelitian prospektif ini dilakukan di Laboratorium RS Cipto Mangunkusumo pada tanggal 3 hingga 31 Januari 2022. Untuk mengukur strategi peningkatan TAT dengan tepat, penelitian ini membagi alur kerja prokalsitonin menjadi beberapa checkpoint. Hasil: Tahapan terpanjang adalah dari masuknya spesimen ke Abbott Architect c8000 hingga keluar (50 menit). Tahap terlama kedua terjadi pada alat analisa prokalsitonin (21 menit). Ketiga adalah pemindahan spesimen dari Abbott Architect c8000 ke penganalisis prokalsitonin (18 menit). Keempat, waktu dari keluarnya spesimen dari alat analisa hingga keluarnya hasil (16 menit). Contoh waktu check-in untuk masuk ke Abbott Architect c8000 (14 menit). Upaya perbaikan pun dimulai, terdiri dari optimalisasi kinerja LIS dan analis. Evaluasi menunjukkan TAT prokalsitonin <2 jam sebesar 69,6%, dengan median TAT 96 menit, menandai peningkatan TAT <2 jam sebesar 22% dan mengurangi TAT menjadi 31 menit. Kesimpulan: Sistem Informasi Laboratorium dan Optimasi Kinerja Staf efektif meningkatkan TAT laboratorium.
