This study documents workload in gynecologic cytology throughput before and after the implementation of the BD FocalPoint\u2122 Guided Screener (GS) System. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Study Design:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; We collected daily screening data from 3 time periods: the 12 months prior to GS implementation, the 6 months immediately after implementation, and the ensuing 7\u201318 months after implementation. Data was tabulated at the individual and total laboratory levels. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; In the 6-month period immediately following implementation, productivity increased in 3 of 5 cytotechnologists, as compared to the figures 12 months before implementation. The laboratory increased productivity slightly (+2.4%), with individual changes ranging from \u20136.9 to +14.7%. In the 7- to 18-month \u2018mature\u2019 period after implementation, productivity increased in all 5 cytotechnologists with an average of +15.4%. Individual increases ranged from +6.1 to +26.9%. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; Overall productivity increased in the period beyond 6 months, and this increase was eventually noted in all personnel. Increased productivity was associated with a short period of learning in which the magnitude of the effect was less than in the mature period.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000345569","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,8]],"date-time":"2013-02-08T08:15:10Z","timestamp":1360311310000},"page":"147-152","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Effects on Cervical Cytology Screening Productivity Associated with Implementation of the BD FocalPoint\u2122 Guided Screener Imaging System"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Brenda J.","family":"Sweeney","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David C.","family":"Wilbur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023%2FA%3A1018435522475"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309%2FAJCPUDFRALJY32XM"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309%2FAJCPTGD94EVRSJCG"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0140-6736%2811%2960551-5"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5858%2Farpa.2010-0739-OA"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000331549"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309%2F7LRF-DU8Q-8H1W-N7T4"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309%2FAGB1MJ9H5N43MEGX"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1309%2FAJCP8VE7AWBZCVQT"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fdc.21541"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fdc.21602"}],"container-title":["Acta Cytologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/345569","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/345569","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T18:37:11Z","timestamp":1745433431000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000345569"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,28]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000345569","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0001-5547","1938-2650"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0001-5547","type":"print"},{"value":"1938-2650","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
