Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to enhance the efficiency of a Cytogenetics lab by implementing Lean Management System initiatives to reduce long result turnaround times (TAT).
- An analysis of 8040 bone marrow cases revealed that while 2915 required additional cell workup, only 49 cases confirmed the presence of a clone, suggesting most additional work was unnecessary.
- The findings advocate for discontinuing extra workup procedures, as it would save time and resources, helping the lab to analyze more cases without compromising patient care, while encouraging the use of FISH or PCR assays for further case clarification.
