Records with complete timestamps were included. Variables included test item, department, visit type, specimen collection time, result dispatch time, clinical recipient, and HIS acknowledgment time. HIS acknowledgment time was defined as the interval between result dispatch\/reporting and the first documented clinical acknowledgment\/response in the HIS. A timely HIS acknowledgment was defined as documented acknowledgment within 15\u2009min; a delayed HIS acknowledgment was defined as documented HIS acknowledgment requiring more than 60\u2009min. Data were analyzed descriptively using median with interquartile range and frequency with percentage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 53,639 critical value records were analyzed. The highest proportions were for WBC count (21.46%), microbial culture (14.10%), PLT count (12.97%), and cTnI (12.86%). The top departments were the hematology ward (22.13%), ICU (20.65%), and emergency department (17.46%). The overall median HIS acknowledgment time was 35\u2009s (IQR 20\u201396\u2009s), and the overall timely acknowledgment rate was 94.57%. The highest untimely acknowledgment rates were observed in the emergency department (9.53%), ICU (6.98%), and hematology outpatient clinic (6.39%). The highest delayed acknowledgment rates were observed in the hematology outpatient clinic (2.51%), emergency department (2.15%), and ICU (1.01%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion(s)<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HIS\u2010recorded critical value acknowledgment was generally timely, but untimely and delayed acknowledgment clustered in specific high\u2010load departments.
