Turnaround Time of the Hematology Results of Cancer Patients During the COVID-19 Pandemic: An Opportunity to Initiate a Quality Improvement Process.

Introduction: Turnaround time (TAT) is a crucial clinical parameter that reflects the performance of a laboratory especially in the context of oncology and the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the Lean Six Sigma methodology, we performed a retrospective analysis of the TAT of the complete blood count (CBC) of cancer patients with the aim of reducing this delay in the future.

Materials And Methods: Over one month of the COVID-19 pandemic, a retrospective evaluative audit was carried out on the TAT of the CBC in an oncology department.
