Therefore, we aimed to automate postanalytical phase in hematology and coagulation laboratory by autovalidation of complete blood count (CBC) and routine coagulation test results (prothrombin time [PT], international normalized ratio [PT-INR], activated partial thromboplastin time [APTT], fibrinogen, antithrombin activity [AT] and thrombin time [TT]). Work efficacy and turnaround time (TAT) before and after implementation of automated solutions will be compared.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n Ordering panels tailored to specific patient populations were implemented. Rerun and reflex testing rules were set in the respective analyzers\u2019 software (Coulter DxH Connectivity 1601, Beckman Coulter, FL, USA; AutoAssistant, Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Germany), and sample status information was transferred into the laboratory information system. To evaluate if the automation improved TAT and efficacy, data from manually verified results in September and October of 2015 were compared with the corresponding period in 2016 when autovalidation was implemented.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Autovalidation rates of 63% for CBC and 65% for routine coagulation test results were achieved. At the TAT of 120 min, the percentage of reported results increased substantially for all analyzed tests, being above 90% for CBC, PT, PT-INR and fibrinogen and 89% for APTT. This output was achieved with three laboratory technicians less compared with the period when the postanalytical phase was not automated.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Automation allowed optimized laboratory workflow for specific patient populations, thereby ensuring standardized results reporting. Autovalidation of test results proved to be an efficient tool for improvement of laboratory work efficacy and TAT.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/cclm-2017-0402","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,23]],"date-time":"2017-09-23T10:00:49Z","timestamp":1506160849000},"page":"454-462","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Autovalidation and automation of the postanalytical phase of routine hematology and coagulation analyses in a university hospital laboratory"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"56","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Mlinaric","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Diagnostics , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Kispaticeva 12 , Zagreb 10000 , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marija","family":"Milos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Diagnostics , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D\u00e9sir\u00e9e","family":"Coen Herak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Diagnostics , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mirjana","family":"Fucek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Diagnostics , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vladimira","family":"Rimac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Transfusion Medicine and Transplantation Biology , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renata","family":"Zadro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Diagnostics , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry and Hematology, Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry , University of Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dunja","family":"Rogic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Laboratory Diagnostics , University Hospital Centre Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"},{"name":"Department of Medical Biochemistry and Hematology, Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry , University of Zagreb , Zagreb , Croatia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021021223263826781_j_cclm-2017-0402_ref_001_w2aab3b7c44b1b6b1ab2b2b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Shih MC, Chang HM, Tien N, Hsiao CT, Peng CT.
