Standardizing Decision-based Workflow Pathways to Improve Turnaround Time Consistency in Transfusion Services

This quality improvement project evaluated workflow variability during antibody identification investigations in a hospital transfusion service laboratory and its impact on turnaround time (TAT) consistency. The objective was to develop and implement a standardized decision-based workflow pathway that provides structured guidance for technologists, reduces workflow variation, improves efficiency, and supports more consistent turnaround time performance while maintaining compliance with existing laboratory procedures.
